Nigerian Man Avoids Deportation After Online Scam

Judge Rules Against Deportation for Nigerian Fraudster

​A Nigerian man convicted of defrauding women out of £200,000 has avoided deportation from the UK after a judge ruled that the healthcare system in Nigeria could not meet the medical needs of his wife and children. The judge determined that deportation would be “unduly harsh” due to the lack of access to necessary medical treatments in Nigeria.

This decision has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it is unjust, especially considering that many law-abiding UK couples struggle to access similar medical treatments. The Fertility Foundation Charity criticized the ruling, stating that it is “staggering” and questioning how it can be justified when so many others are denied the same opportunity.

Following public outcry, the case is set to be reheard before a different judge. This development highlights ongoing debates about the balance between individual rights and immigration enforcement, particularly when health considerations are involved.
