Fraud and money laundering feature prominently among the charges listed against 134 Nigerians on a United States immigration enforcement register, according to a recent analysis of records from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The individuals are foreign nationals identified by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and cataloged in the DHS “Worst of the Worst” register. Following the addition of 10 names in August, the total number of listed Nigerians reached 134, up from 124 in July.

An analysis of the database shows that fraud—including wire and mail fraud—is the most frequently occurring category, appearing in 59 records. Money laundering follows in 17 records, while identity theft, sex offences, and theft or larceny each appear in 16 records.

Additionally, offences involving assault or violence account for 24 entries, drug-related violations appear in 10 records, and conspiracy is listed in seven cases. Other charges include immigration violations, weapons offences, forgery, and public-order infractions.

U.S. officials noted that the statistics reflect recorded offences rather than formal convictions, with several individuals facing multiple overlapping charges. Examples include Temitope Bashua, listed for wire fraud, identity theft, and fraud; and Chukwuemeka Okorocha, listed for wire fraud, dangerous drugs, weapons possession, and aggravated assault.

The register also encompasses a range of severe criminal allegations, including rape, kidnapping, robbery, manslaughter, and narcotics trafficking.

The DHS describes the register as a compilation of criminal immigrants arrested by ICE. Neither the July nor the August updates specified official deportation timelines for the listed Nigerian nationals.
