A Nigerian man used the identity of the victim in an unsolved murder
to hide his status as an illegal immigrant while working undetected for
two decades as a security guard and then a security supervisor at one of
the United States' busiest airports, authorities said Monday in
announcing his arrest.
The arrest of Bimbo Olumuyiwa Oyewole came on the day a federal
report found the Transportation Security Administration's handling of
security breaches at the airport, Newark Liberty International,
deficient. Newark has had a number of high-profile security beaches, the
most notorious being the case of a Chinese graduate student who slipped
past an exit checkpoint to say goodbye to his girlfriend in 2010,
shutting down a terminal and causing huge delays affecting domestic and
international traffic.
Oyewole, 54, worked at the airport, starting in 1992, under the name
of Jerry Thomas, who was killed that year in New York City. He was
arrested, after an anonymous tip, at his home in Elizabeth on Monday and
faced charges including identity theft, authorities said. It wasn't
immediately known how Thomas' personal information was acquired.

No big deal. Obama is using a dead man's Social Security number. His name was Jean Paul Ludwig. Mr. Ludwig was borne in France and lived in Connecticut. Mr. Ludwig's SS number is 042-68-4425. That is also Obama's SS number. Mr. Ludwig died in 1948.
