Nigerian man, Lazarus Olleh, to be deported after spending 12 years in jail for raping a teenager six weeks after arriving in the U.K

In a statement the police said that the man was deported from Malta under arrest and escorted to Nigeria on a flight. For this operation the Police were assisted by Detention Services. The court had also issued an order which prohibits Feilazoo from ever returning to Malta.

This operation follows a number of others carried out in the past months by the Immigration Police in which persons who cannot remain in Malta were deported, including those who had served prison sentences after being sentenced by the courts.

A rapist who attacked a young woman after going “on the prowl” for a victim will be deported at the end of a 12-year prison sentence.

Nigerian national Lazarus Olleh, 38, had been in the UK for about six weeks when he targeted the 18-year-old in Hull in the early hours of 29 October last year.

Olleh parked in a taxi rank outside Propaganda nightclub before coaxing the woman, who had been at a Halloween-themed night and was drunk, into his car, Hull Crown Court heard.

Jeremy Evans, prosecuting, said: “He drove her a short distance, parked up in what turned out to be a short walk from his friend’s flat on Whitefriargate.”

He almost “frogmarched” the woman and she had little option but to comply because because of her drunken state.

“He was preying upon a drunken woman,” said Mr Evans. “This was the very reason that he targeted her.”

He added: “Such was her state of fear at the time that she could do nothing to resist. Her next recollection was losing her consciousness once again.”

After the incident the woman was awoken by a second man and helped from the bed to a car. Olleh asked her for her phone number and she gave a false number.

DNA tests confirmed Olleh, of Belmont Street, Hull, had sex with the woman.

He denied rape but was convicted by a jury after a retrial. A previous jury had failed to reach a verdict.
