The audacity is staggering. On Wednesday afternoon in Plymouth, Minnesota, the line between “immigration enforcement” and “felony abduction” was crossed in a way that should outrage every law-abiding citizen. Oluwadamilola Bamigboye, a 24-year-old Nigerian national who overstayed his student visa, and his driver, Rekeya Frazier, 23, didn’t just resist arrest—they allegedly trapped a federal HSI agent in their vehicle and refused to let her out.
While the mainstream media might try to spin this as a “misunderstanding,” the FBI affidavit paints a picture of a chaotic, high-stakes kidnapping of a law enforcement officer.
The Discord of the “Kidnap” Defense
When Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents approached the pair to discuss Bamigboye’s illegal immigration status, they did what any law-abiding person would do: they showed badges. But Bamigboye didn’t care about badges. He ordered Frazier to “drive.”
What followed was a scene out of an action movie. As one agent tried to stop the car, she was pushed out. Another agent became trapped inside as the door slammed shut. Imagine being a federal agent, trapped in a moving vehicle with a man who is legally supposed to be deported and a driver who refuses to stop. Bamigboye’s excuse? He claims he has PTSD from a previous kidnapping in Nigeria.

Let’s call it what it is: A convenient lie to justify assaulting a federal officer. If you have PTSD from kidnapping, why are you the one holding a fed hostage in a moving Jeep?
The Controversy Everyone is Ignoring: The “Reverse Abduction” Scam
The most insane part of this story? Bamigboye called 911 on the agent he was currently kidnapping. While the trapped agent was fighting to shift the Jeep into park and eventually had to pull her service weapon to save her own life, the suspects were trying to frame her as the aggressor.

They drove her to the New Hope Police Department like they were “dropping off” a nuisance. This is a calculated slap in the face to the Department of Homeland Security. They used a local police station as a shield while committing a federal felony.
The “Cold Hard Truth” from the Insiders
Insiders are furious. Behind closed doors, the talk is about how emboldened illegal overstays have become. Bamigboye was here on a student visa that he burned. Instead of leaving, he stayed, and when the law finally came knocking, he treated a federal agent like a carjacker.
The “Expert Roast” is simple: If a foreign national feels comfortable pushing a federal agent out of a car and kidnapping another, the system is broken. This isn’t about PTSD; it’s about a total lack of respect for U.S. sovereignty.
Deep Background: The Student Visa Loophole
Bamigboye entered this country on a promise to study. He broke that promise. The HSI agents were surveilling a parking lot in Plymouth specifically to find him because he was a flagged overstay. Frazier, the driver, played the role of the getaway driver to perfection, even threatening that they “might crash” if the agent didn’t stop trying to save herself.
The “What’s Next” Section: Federal Charges and Deportation
Both Bamigboye and Frazier are now facing federal counts of assaulting a federal officer. The judge will have to decide if “PTSD” is a valid excuse for kidnapping a government agent. The next court dates will determine if Bamigboye finally gets the plane ticket home he should have taken months ago.
