Return Home Before You Get Arrested, Shehu Sani Warns Nigerians After Trump Revokes 80,000 Visas

Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has advised Nigerians and other Africans whose United States (US) visas were recently revoked by President Donald Trump’s administration to return home before they face possible arrest or deportation.

According to reports, the Trump-led government, through the US State Department, has revoked about 80,000 visas since assuming office in January this year. The affected visas reportedly include 12,000 linked to assault cases, 16,000 connected to driving under the influence (DUI), and 8,000 student visas. The large-scale revocation has sparked widespread concern among immigrants and foreign nationals residing in the United States.

Reacting to the development, Senator Sani, in a post shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Monday, cautioned the affected individuals to return to their home countries before being apprehended by officials of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

He wrote:

“Nigerians and other thousands of Africans whose visas were recently revoked by President Trump should hasten and leave the country and return home before they get arrested by ICE.

No matter how long you live in the comfort of your adopted home, you will someday be reminded that it is not your father’s house.”

Sani’s statement has stirred conversations across social media, with many Nigerians expressing mixed reactions. Some users agreed with his warning, describing it as a wake-up call for Africans living abroad illegally or under uncertain visa conditions. Others criticised the former lawmaker for what they saw as an overly harsh remark.

The US government has not yet released an official statement addressing the concerns raised over the mass visa cancellations. However, the move is seen as part of President Trump’s broader immigration enforcement strategy, which aims to tighten border controls and reduce the number of immigrants living in the United States without valid documentation.

Senator Sani, known for his outspoken and often satirical commentary on political and social issues, urged Nigerians to view the development as a reminder of the importance of building a better and more secure nation at home, rather than depending on foreign countries for opportunities.
