Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde jailed in US

Nigeria’s Olatunde James Temitope Akintonde has been sentenced to 15 years imprisonment in the United States for selling fentanyl-laced pills that caused the death of a 19-year-old Santee man.

Akintonde, a resident of El Cajon was sentenced in a federal court on 24 November, 2021.

According to the US Attorney General’s Office, Akintonde previously admitted that he sent messages to S.J.G. through social media on February 28, 2019, to coordinate a sale of what the victim believed to be oxycodone pills.

Later that evening, Akintonde delivered two counterfeit oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl to S.J.G. After the meeting, Akintonde sent additional messages to S.J.G. through social media warning that he should only take one of the pills because they were “strong.”

He further admitted that the pills he gave to S.J.G. caused his death. According to other filings in the case, S.J.G. died in his home sometime in the evening of February 28, 2019 or the early morning hours of March 1, 2019.

Special Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration and a Task Force Officer from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department led the investigation into S.J.G.’s death and quickly identified Aktinonde as the source of the fatal pills.
