Nigerian student jailed in US over illegal gun possession, shooting

A 23-year-old Nigerian student in the United States, Godson Oghenebrume, has been sentenced to 27 months in prison after admitting to illegally possessing a firearm and firing multiple shots during a confrontation involving his former girlfriend and their infant child.
The conviction was announced in a statement issued by Kurt Wall and obtained on Wednesday.
According to the statement, Oghenebrume was sentenced by U.S. Chief Judge Shelly Dick after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by “an alien admitted to the United States under a non-immigrant visa.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office also disclosed that the Nigerian student faces deportation after completing his prison term.
