Six Nigerians have been deported from the United States after being charged with various crimes.
According to sources familiar with the matter, their deportation is part of a broader decision by the US government to remove at least 3,000 Nigerians involved in criminal activities within the country.
The deportees arrived in Lagos on Wednesday aboard a Delta Airlines flight, landing at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport shortly before 9 a.m.
They were met by officials from various Nigerian government agencies tasked with determining the next steps in handling the situation.
The deportations align with the US government’s migration policies under the Donald Trump administration, which emphasize stricter measures to regulate immigration.
