No fewer than 19 additional Nigerians have been placed on the United States government’s “worst of the worst” criminal list and are set to be deported.
Checks by Executive.Tv on the website of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday revealed that the latest update brings the total number of Nigerians slated for deportation to 113.
The newly named individuals were convicted of various offences, including sexual assault of a minor, fraud, assault, drug trafficking, and money laundering.
A statement accompanying the list noted that the individuals were arrested by officers of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and will be deported upon completion of immigration procedures.
According to the statement, the department is “highlighting the worst of the worst criminal aliens arrested by ICE.” It added that under the leadership of Secretary Kristi Noem, officials are implementing President Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda, beginning with individuals classified among the most serious offenders.
Those newly added to the deportation list include Adeolu Solabu, Oladayo Agboola, Chinonso Ochie, Oluchi Jennifer Chimdimma Chime, Samuel Omorodion, Sunday Adediora, Sunday Kunkushi, and Mkpouto Etukudoh.
Others are Marcus Unigwe, Kehinde James, Blessing Uchanma, Victor Adebisi, Richard Ugbah, Olaniyi Ojikutu, Oluwamuyiwa Olawoye, Okechukwu Amadi, Femi Jolayemi, Anthony Asanya, Izuchukwu Okoye, and Ebele Agbasiele.
The development comes amid an intensified crackdown by U.S. authorities on criminal and undocumented migrants and within three weeks, that figure has risen to 113 to be sent packing from the United States of America.
