Fraud tops offences as 134 Nigerians face US deportation

In a report by Punch, it has been revealed that 134 Nigerians are facing deportation from the United States, with fraud topping the list of offenses. The individuals are listed in the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) register and are categorized under the "Worst of the Worst" register by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Fraud-related offenses, including wire and mail fraud, make up 59 records, making it the most common category. Money laundering follows with 17 records, while sex offences and theft or larceny each appear in 16 records. The report also highlights a range of other offenses, such as assault, drug-related crimes, and immigration-related offenses, among others.

The individuals listed are not necessarily all facing separate criminal cases, but rather have multiple offenses listed against them.
