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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
