WASHINGTON (7News) — A 35-year-old man wanted by London authorities on child rape charges was detained at Washington Dulles International Airport.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers removed Ghanaian national Kwaku Dunyo from the airport after he arrived on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany.
Dunyo is accused of raping a 16-year-old on Nov. 21, and has been wanted by the London Metropolitan Police Service, according to CBP.
London police found out that Dunyo was headed to Dulles during their search for him and contacted U.S. Homeland Security to assist.
