The United States Department of Justice has launched legal proceedings to revoke the American citizenship of Emmanuel Oluwatosin Kazeem following allegations tied to a massive identity theft and tax fraud operation.
The United States Department of Justice has filed a civil complaint seeking to strip Nigerian-born Emmanuel Oluwatosin Kazeem of his American citizenship.
Kazeem had previously been convicted of orchestrating a large-scale scheme involving identity theft and tax fraud that cost US authorities approximately $11.6 million.
The legal action is premised on allegations that his naturalisation as a US citizen was obtained through unlawful or fraudulent means.
