U.S. Rejects Adeniran As Nigerian Ambassador; Cites Son Rape Case In America by Princek12(m): 2:41pm On Sep 20, 2009
Washington has rejected the appointment of Tunde Adeniran as Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United States, nearly five weeks after his son, Adedamola, was arrested in Baltimore for gang rape.

News of the rejection broke on Thursday, two months after U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, visited Abuja and pledged a tough stance against the inconsistencies of Aso Rock functionaries.

Adedamola was arrested last month alongside two other Nigerians for the offence highly loathed in civilised societies, including the U.S, where sexual immorality costs Americans their political aspirations.

The arrest was reported on August 25.

Neither Adeniran nor Foreign Ministry officials could be reached for comment on Thursday.

He was appointed to replace Oluwole Olurotimi, whose racial row with Foreign Minister, Ojo Maduekwe, ended his sojourn in the U.S.
