The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced plans to deport an additional 18 Nigerians listed on its “worst-of-the-worst” criminal register, bringing the total number of Nigerians scheduled for removal to 97. The individuals were convicted of various crimes, including wire fraud, mail fraud, and identity theft.
The latest list includes names such as Oluwaseyanu Akinola Afolabi, Olugbeminiyi Aderibigbe, and Obinwanne Okeke, among others. This move is part of an ongoing nationwide crackdown on criminal immigrants by US authorities, as stated by the DHS.
The Trump administration has been aggressively pursuing the deportation of foreign nationals with serious criminal convictions, with several Nigerians reportedly affected by the policy. Some Nigerians have reportedly gone into hiding or are returning home secretly amid the intensified deportation campaign.
The DHS has emphasized that the deportations are part of efforts to fulfill President Trump’s promise to prioritize the removal of illegal immigrants with violent or serious criminal histories.
