So sad! Star School Basket Ball Player Arrested | Facing Deportation After Reducing Age By A Decade.

A star school basketball player has been thrown behind bars after he was discovered to be 10 YEARS older than his classmates.

Jonathan Nicola, 29, lied about his age when he arrived in Canada on a student visa from South Sudan before enrolling in a school in Windsor, Ontario.

According to Daily News, he claimed to be 16 and starred for the school basketball team but has now been exposed and is facing deportation.

Nicola was caught out by his own fingerprint after he attempted to apply for another visa.

He is being held in custody in Windsor and faces a date with an immigration review board on Tuesday.
