The affected individuals are linked to serious criminal offences, according to U.S. authorities.

Officials say the move is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen national security and remove non-citizens considered a threat to public safety.


The deportations are being coordinated through immigration enforcement agencies, with preparations already underway.

Those listed are expected to be returned to Nigeria once legal and logistical processes are completed.


The development has drawn attention both in the United States and Nigeria, as discussions grow around crime, migration, and reintegration of deportees. Authorities have not disclosed when the removals will begin.
