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.
The two suspects now face legal action for their involvement in producing and using falsified identification documents.
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.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
