Canadian police have declared a Nigerian, Oghenemaro Dave Ejerua, wanted for allegedly assaulting vulnerable adults at the Toronto Group home.
Mr Ejerua, 38, was declared wanted after the police were called to the area of Sibley and Detonia Park avenues for reports of an assault.
In a statement dated December 31, 2025, the police said the suspect was employed as a caregiver at the group home.
