OLUWASEUN OSENI'S VIOLENT CRIME IN ORPINGTON AND MAIDSTONE

In June 2022, a disturbing incident unfolded involving Oluwaseun Oseni, a man from Orpington, that drew significant attention from local authorities and the community alike. The events took place across Maidstone and Orpington, highlighting a series of violent and criminal acts that culminated in Oseni's arrest and subsequent sentencing.

It was a distressing evening when a 16-year-old girl was waiting for a taxi in Maidstone. Suddenly, she was approached by Oseni, a 33-year-old man who was later identified as a father of three.
