Trump, White House share post of Nigerians nabbed by FBI for wire fraud

President Donald Trump and the White House on Thursday shared a post about U.S.-based Nigerians, Christopher Falade, his son, Emmanuel Falade, and six others caught in a web of wire fraud in Minnesota housing stabilisation programme.

“Does Ilhan Omar know these people? Are they from her wonderfully managed home country of Somalia?” said the U.S. president.

He added, “Ilhan Omar’s country of Somalia is plagued by a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy, decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. 70% of the population lives in extreme poverty, and widespread food insecurity.”

Mr Trump added, “Somalia is consistently ranked among the world’s most corrupt countries, including bribery, embezzlement, and a dysfunctional government. All of this, and Ilhan Omar tells us how to run America!”

The White House shared a screenshot of Mr Trump’s post on Truth Social with two memes. The post elicited over 1,000 comments, more than 5,000 reposts and viewed over 500,000 times by X users.
