Two Nigerian Men Arrested in Haiti for Using Fake National IDs
Two Nigerian men have been apprehended by Haitian authorities for allegedly possessing counterfeit Haitian National Identification Cards. The individuals, identified as Madukanze Kenneth, aged 31, and Henry Peter, aged 29, were taken into custody on Sunday, August 18, in the town of Jacmel, Haiti.
According to local reports, Madukanze Kenneth, who was born on August 3, 1993, in Nigeria, was found in possession of a fraudulent Haitian National ID under the alias “Augustin Jerry.”
His accomplice, Henry Peter, born on February 7, 1995, also from Nigeria, had similarly obtained a fake Haitian ID card in the name of “Junior Jean Pierre.” The arrests were first reported by IciHaiti.
Haitian authorities, particularly the South East Police Department, shared the news of the arrests on their social media platforms. The department reiterated its commitment to combating criminal activities and preserving public safety.
They emphasized that the arrests are part of ongoing efforts to crack down on illegal acts and ensure law and order in the country.

Haitian law enforcement is expected to conduct further investigations into how the two Nigerians managed to acquire the fake IDs and whether they are linked to a broader criminal network operating in the region.
This incident has raised concerns about identity fraud and the potential for such crimes to compromise national security in Haiti.
