The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has updated the list of Nigerians at risk of deportation from the country, reducing the number to 112 and publishing their names and photographs online.
The latest list, released through the official DHS website, includes Nigerians from different parts of the country.
Among those listed are Cletus Onyali, Olaolu Alabi, Marcus Unigwe, Mkpouto Etukudoh, Blessing Uchanma, Olaniyi Ojikutu, Richard Ugbah, Oluwamuyiwa Olawoye, Anthony Asanya and Ebele Agbasiele.
Others identified in the list include Izuchukwu Okoye, Olufemi Olufisayo Olutiola, Abiemwense Obanor, Chibuzo Nwaonu, Oluchi Jennifer Chimdimma Chime, Ifeanyi Okoro, Oluwaseun Kassim, Quazeem Adeyinka and Talatu Dada.
The release comes amid a tightening of immigration enforcement by the US government, particularly targeting undocumented immigrants and individuals with pending deportation orders.
This also comes in the context of efforts by US authorities to obtain greater cooperation from foreign governments in receiving their citizens who have been ordered to leave the United States.
Nigeria has already faced pressure from the United States to repatriate its citizens subject to deportation.
