US Updates Deportation List, 112 Nigerians Now Facing Removal

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has published an updated list of 112 Nigerian nationals facing removal from the United States, according to reports citing the agency’s official website. The latest figure represents a reduction from an earlier list of 124 Nigerians published by US authorities in July 2026. That earlier list identified individuals whom DHS described as part of its “worst of the worst” criminal enforcement effort. The updated DHS publication includes the names and photographs of the 112 Nigerians. Among those identified in reports are Cletus Onyali, Olaolu Alabi, Marcus Unigwe, Mkpouto Etukudoh, Blessing Uchanma, Olaniyi Ojikutu, Richard Ugbah, Oluwamuyiwa Olawoye, Anthony Asanya and Ebele Agbasiele. Other Nigerians reportedly appearing on the updated 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 publication comes amid intensified immigration enforcement by the US government, including efforts to remove foreign nationals who are subject to deportation orders or other immigration proceedings. US authorities have previously published lists involving Nigerian nationals as part of the wider enforcement campaign. In July, DHS released a list of 124 Nigerians, while additional Nigerians were subsequently added to or removed from such lists as immigration cases progressed. The latest publication does not by itself establish that all 112 individuals have already been deported. It identifies people facing removal, while the timing and outcome of individual cases can depend on their legal and immigration circumstances. Factful24 will continue to monitor official US and Nigerian government statements for further developments.
