Officials said Nicola allegedly violated the Immigration Refugee Protection Act and is being detained under the authority of the act. 

However, it's still unclear what Nicola is actually accused of doing but he is in Canada on a student visa.

Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board spokesman Stephen Fields told the Windsor Star that 'this is a matter that's still outstanding before the federal authorities, obviously we can't really comment on it'.  

Fields added that the school board has a 'system of checks and balances in place' for international students who come to the district's schools. 

'We make sure that they have all of the necessary government documentation that they require.'

Nicola, who was a star on the Catholic Central Comets senior boys' basketball team, was living with the team's head coach Pete Cusumano through a program called Canada Homestay, which finds homes for foreign students, according to the Windsor Star.

Cusumano told the Star he wasn't allowed to talk about the situation but in January he said Nicola had a shot at going to the NBA.

The group Windsor Hoops, which calls itself a 'local basketball resource promoting news, players and results from Windsor,' even posted a 'prospect video' that shows Nicola shooting hoops and running drills in the school gym.

Nicola told the Star January that he arrived in Windsor in November 2015 and that he left South Sudan, his disease-ridden, war-torn home, for a better life.

He said it took him six months to acquire a Canadian student visa because of the 'war going on, terrorism', which made it 'double hard'.

Funny how i can't do a dang thing without ID out the wazzo. But, if you are an immigrant, you have carte blanche to do as you please.

So glad Canada is doing such a wonderful job of vetting all those immigrants before they let them join their society.

Obama and his ilk never explained how they were able to vette someone when we dont' even know where or when someone was born. Then again, he took his good old time producing his birth certificate. Yet, i couldn't even sign my 5 yr old up for soccer without one.

I don't trust Prime Minister Centerfold and his new Immigration Minister AT ALL.
Evidently, an new immigrant can plan to blow up Toronto and still retain his Canadian citizenship, despite swearing to protect Canada and uphold our laws at the swearing in.
They thought bringing in migrant families with 11 kids was a Really Good Idea. The mother will never work and the father is barely literate and can barely speak the language. What kind of job is he going to get that will support 13 people?
They already got a free big house and will live off Child Benefits and welfare in perpetuity. Yes, they'll contribute a great deal to our nation.

Aww...He's just a 30 year old who's brain thinks he's 17. You should be fighting for his right to pretend he's only a teenager.

LOL! What difference does it make how many years you've lived? It's your mind that matters.

who the hell is anybody here to tell him how to self identify?!?

If his mind is that of a 17 year old boy and his body doesn't match, then we need to all work to give him what he needs to be comfortable as a 17 year old.

Shame on all of you judgmental bastards! It's his life! Not yours!

They ignored his looks and focused on the height.

They couldn't question him. That would be discrimination and profiling. We cant have THAT! Being black does have its advantages...

In all seriousness, he does NOT look 17. Do those people not have eyes? There are many medical ways of determining age. If you don't have appropriate paperwork, go see a dr. and get verification. Jeepers. How did this go on for so long with nobody pointing out that he's a grown-a$$ MAN??

 No they didnt, if they are at all like the state of Mass, the liberals allow the illegals to self declare age and stuff saying they have no documents since their country of origin doesn't keep records.  Because its for the children.  They have found more than one 30+ YO in the school systems.
