Elisa Kumadey, an immigration lawyer who acted as the defence counsel for the Nigerian man, said it all happened after the woman reported to immigration authorities that her marriage to the African man was not genuine and that she had been deceived.

It was after this that the US woman went on to apologise to her husband over what had happened and attempted to reconcile with him.

“We went before the judge, presented our arguments, and showed all the paperwork we had, including background checks from Nigeria. We argued the case, and the judge granted the application. The wife later came to apologise after the application had been granted. She initially wanted him out, but when that didn’t happen, I guess she wanted him back,” she told interviewer Dentaa Amoateng.
