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.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
