Houston Police Arrest Two Nigerians in Adult-Services Sting

On September 28, 2026, the Houston Police Department (HPD) conducted a sting operation targeting adult services in Southwest Houston, resulting in the arrest of three men, including two Nigerian nationals, Sunday Okorie and Januarius Ezeike, along with Arron Ingram. The HPD publicly announced the arrests on October 3, 2026, describing the operation as proactive and labeling all three suspects as "solicitors." Under Texas law, the purchase of sexual services is classified as a state jail felony for a first offense, with penalties escalating for repeat offenses or cases involving minors.

The HPD's announcement included the names and photographs of the suspects, a common practice for documenting felony adult-services arrests. The arrests garnered attention on social media, particularly among Nigerian users who noted the nationality of the two suspects.
