The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has disclosed its intentions to deport no fewer than 79 Nigerians who are featured on its ‘worst-of-the-worst’ criminal list.
Information available on the DHS website as of Monday indicates that these individuals have been found guilty of serious offenses such as fraud, drug trafficking, assault, manslaughter, and robbery, among others.
An official note revealed that these convicts were apprehended as part of a broader initiative by the United States to target criminal immigrants.
The note stated, "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
Furthermore, it continued, "Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, the dedicated team at DHS and ICE is making good on President Trump’s commitment, executing mass deportations starting with the most serious offenders, including the illegal aliens listed here."
The document lists several of the convicted Nigerians, including Boluwaji Akingunsoye, Ejike Asiegbunam, Emmanuel Mayegun Adeola, and Bamidele Bolatiwa, among others.
Other individuals included are Ifeanyi Nwaozomudoh, Aderemi Akefe, Solomon Wilfred, and Chibundu Anuebunwa, as well as Joshua Ineh, Usman Momoh, and Oluwole Odunowo. Additionally, there are Bolarinwa Salau, Oriyomi Aloba, and several other names that comprise a lengthy roll of those to be deported.
The names also feature Oludayo Adeagbo, Olaniyi Akintuyi, Talatu Dada, Olatunde Oladinni, and Jelili Qudus, along with Abayomi Daramola and Toluwani Adebakin, and others like Olamide Jolayemi and Isaiah Okere.
Moreover, the list expands to include other individuals such as Benji Macaulay, Joseph Ogbara, and Kenneth Unanka, as well as Jeremiah Ehis and Oluwafemi Orimolade.
The campaign against criminal and undocumented immigrants in the United States continues to heavily impact many Nigerians living there, as the Trump administration has intensified its focus on deportations.
Reports indicate that in light of the increased enforcement, some Nigerians have opted to go underground while others are discreetly returning to Nigeria due to the heightened deportation efforts led by President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.
