Man finds friend in US deportation list
According to Adebanji, his friend moved to the United States six years ago in search of greener pastures. However, the communication between the two friends completely broke down about three years ago, leaving Adebanji wondering what had happened to him.
Adebanji revealed he was actually planning to contact his friend to ask for assistance, completely unaware of his friend's true situation.
The harsh reality dawned on Adebanji when the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published the names and photographs of 124 Nigerians set to be deported for various crimes.
As the list circulated across major Nigerian news outlets, Adebanji spotted his long-lost friend's name and mugshot among the deportees.
Legit.ng had earlier reported that the US database contained the profiles of 124 Nigerian nationals who have been convicted of serious crimes in the US, ranging from Yahoo to drug offenses and violent crimes.
Choosing not to reveal the name of the friend facing deportation, @prinxe_B wrote:
"I can't believe this. A close friend of mine moved to the US six years ago, and I completely lost touch with him about three years back.
I always wondered what happened and I was even looking forward to reaching out to him for some help.
I just found out the devastating news: his name is on the deportation list for Nigerians being sent back due to a crime.
It’s crazy to think I was waiting to lean on him, having no idea he was actually sitting in a prison this whole time."
