A Nigerian woman serving in the United States Army has appealed to President Donald Trump to intervene in a visa dispute preventing her 10-year-old daughter from joining her in the US.
The woman said her daughter is critically ill and requires urgent medical attention that she believes is difficult to access in Nigeria.
She made the appeal in a video posted on TikTok, saying she had been separated from her daughter for about 10 years and feared she could lose her before they have the opportunity to reunite.
She said she had taken an oath to serve the United States and remained compliant with the country’s laws, but was now seeking Trump’s intervention as a mother desperate to save her child.
“Please do not scroll. I’m at the verge of losing my daughter. They said social media is powerful, and this is my last resort.”
