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 news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
