Six Nigerians return from US amid deportation crackdown

Six Nigerian nationals have returned to Nigeria from the United States following President Donald Trump's administration's intensified immigration crackdown. The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) received the group at Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos State on Wednesday, with the reception exercise conducted in collaboration with the US Consulate, the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Nigeria Immigration Service, and ExecuJet.

NEMA stated that the returnees, comprising five males and one female, were closely monitored by officers of the Nigeria Immigration Service upon their arrival. The agency did not disclose the circumstances surrounding their return, but emphasized that the exercise reflected the Federal Government's commitment to ensuring a safe, orderly, and dignified return of Nigerian citizens.
