Amidst the ongoing deportation threats from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), many Nigerians living in the United States are turning to spiritual practices for solace and protection. Reports indicate that Nigerians in the US are contacting their relatives in Nigeria to seek prayers from churches, mosques, and shrines to avert deportation.
The fear of deportation has led to an influx of Nigerians visiting places of worship for special spiritual assistance. Religious leaders have confirmed receiving unusual numbers of visitors seeking prayers to halt the deportation of their loved ones. This situation has created a sense of urgency and anxiety among the Nigerian community in the US, with many feeling uncertain about their future.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working with the US Embassy in Nigeria and the United States Information Service (USIS) to gather information about Nigerians living illegally in the US. This has further heightened the fears of deportation among the Nigerian community.
As the situation unfolds, the Nigerian community in the US continues to seek spiritual support and hope for a resolution that will allow them to remain in the country without fear of deportation.
