U.S. PRESSURES AFRICAN NATIONS TO ACCEPT VENEZUELAN DEPORTEES — NIGERIA PUSHES BACK

The U.S. is urging African countries to take in Venezuelan migrants deported from America, including ex-prisoners, but Nigeria firmly rejects this, slamming the move as coercive and unfair.

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar called it “difficult” to accept deportees amid Nigeria’s own challenges and warned against becoming a “dumping ground” for those labeled criminals. While some West African nations consider the deal, Nigeria insists on protecting its sovereignty and prioritising its people.
