No fewer than 201 Nigerians are in the immigration camps set to be deported home from the United States (U.S.) in line with President Donald Trump’s immigration policy.
Eighty-five of them have been cleared for immediate eviction from the country.
According to the U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Richard Mills Jr., among the first batch of deportees are those serving jail terms in U.S. prisons.
The envoy said the deportees would be taken to Lagos but did not indicate when.
He spoke during a meeting with the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Mrs Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, at her office.
The U.S. President has been fulfilling his campaign promise to deport illegal immigrants.
