A 6 foot 9 high school Basketball player has been arrested by the authorities in Canada for claiming to be 17 years old when he is actually a 30-year old man.
Jonathan Nicola was arrested at the Canadian border last week and is currently being held for “contravening the Immigration Refugee Protection Act”.
Nicola was in Canada on a student visa and was attending the Catholic Central High School as a 11th grader. Reports say that he was even leaving with his high school team’s head coach.

this age slashing matter doesn’t only happen here ooo kai how serious he looks,he had the mind to slash almost half his age and the people who recruited him believed him.but why he did that only GOD can tell
Damn! He looks 30 though.
*Living” with
he even looks older than 30. they probably thought he looked old cuz of his height.
It’s quite common in the sports world. So many Africans have done it and will continue to do it. Even most times their recruiters and coaches know, but they turn a blind eye or even tell them what to do to cover up their real ages like saying they were born at home in the rural areas and they don’t have birth certificates, so they then go and swear an affidavit that they are whatever age they choose and get a passport based on that because it’s all about winning and producing the best talent. You have no idea the pressure these recruiters and coaches are under to keep their schools funded via their sports program, so they can keep their jobs…
