Efe V. Ashcroft

Kenneth Efe is a Nigerian citizen who attempted entry into the United States in January 1998. His testimony regarding the circumstances that brought him to the U.S. changed each time he presented his case, including to this Court. The main thrust of Efe's story is that he was involved in a political demonstration in Edo, Nigeria, in which he killed a police officer. Efe ran from the police for a number of months before boarding a ship that brought him to the U.S. He was stopped upon entry, beginning the process of immigration hearings that has culminated in this appeal.
