The United States has named 10 more Nigerians in a fresh update to its controversial “Worst of the Worst” register, placing them among foreign nationals arrested by immigration authorities over a range of alleged criminal offences.
The latest names were published by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as President Donald Trump’s administration steps up its immigration enforcement campaign and pushes ahead with its mass-deportation agenda.
The Nigerians on the new list are linked to cases involving wire fraud, identity theft, fraud, drug offences, child-related crimes, larceny, aggravated assault and weapons possession.
The development comes just weeks after US authorities published a much larger list containing 124 Nigerians on July 9, 2026. The 10 Nigerians in the latest update were not included in that earlier publication.
Among those newly named is Temitope Bashua, who is listed in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, in connection with wire fraud, identity theft and fraud.
In Conroe, Texas, Ojehoro Lewis is listed over cruelty toward a child, while Franklin Dikeocha, in Dallas, is associated with a sex offence involving a child, specifically fondling.
Osemudiamen Kingsley Oziegbe is listed in Louisville, Kentucky, over a wire fraud offence. Another Nigerian, Raymond H. Ekevwo, is similarly listed for wire fraud in Oxford, Wisconsin.
The latest register also names Johnson Ogunlana, of White Deer, Pennsylvania, in connection with fraud and identity theft.
Chukwuemeka Chinye, based in Pollock, Louisiana, faces a lengthy list of alleged offences, including larceny from a banking-type institution, fraud, larceny, identity theft and conspiracy.
In Conroe, Texas, Daniel Oworen is listed in connection with dangerous drugs.
Chukwuemeka Okorocha, in Allenwood, Pennsylvania, is associated with several offences, including wire fraud, dangerous drugs, possession of a weapon and aggravated assault involving a non-family gun.
DHS established the register to publicly highlight foreign nationals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) whom the department describes as the “worst of the worst” criminal immigrants.
The department has tied the initiative to Trump’s pledge to carry out mass deportations, saying immigration authorities are beginning with individuals they consider serious criminal offenders.
But being named on the register does not necessarily mean that an individual has already been deported.
The latest publication does not provide deportation dates for any of the 10 Nigerians, nor does it confirm that they have been removed from the United States.
Instead, the register identifies them as criminal immigrants arrested by ICE and outlines the offences associated with their cases.
The fresh additions nevertheless underscore the growing scope of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement campaign and its decision to publicly identify foreign nationals arrested over criminal allegations.
Huhuonline.com understands that for the Nigerians named in the latest update, inclusion on the DHS register marks another development in their respective immigration cases — but, based on the information provided in the publication, it should not be taken as confirmation that they have already been deported from the United States.
