Who pays for this chancer’s appeals?
He was then asked nicely to leave the state at his earliest convenience
So? Asylum rejection still means nothing here right?
Well, that must mean the state didn’t believe his story. Bye, then!
It’ll probably be upheld in 4 years time too and then in another 4 years after that and almost certainly upheld 4 years after that and then upheld again…….
” This finding was open to the tribunal, given the 53-year-old man had spent prolonged periods in Nigeria without being subjected to torture or harm, the judge said. The IPAT was entitled to reject the applicant’s assertion that his fear only “crystallised” in 2019 and that he could have sought protection in the UK, US or Germany, as he had travelled through those countries.
He held that the IPAT decision of January 2023 was validly made and should not be interfered with by the court.
The man claimed he was born into a royal family and that his father’s death, when the man was aged seven, was said to have been due to his failure to join a cult and assume a cabinet position. He told the International Protection Office (IPO) he heard his father was killed by the invocation of spirits while he slept.
His wife travelled to the UK that year on a student visa, and he subsequently followed on a dependant’s visa. He later travelled to the US on a valid visa before returning to Nigeria in 2011 to get a visa for the UK, where he remained until 2014. He and his wife had children before separating in 2014.
The man returned to Nigeria but also appears to have moved around, visiting Germany twice between 2014 and 2019, the judge said.”
The man is an adventurer for sure.
Satisfying to see that not only twitter/x, but now Reddit too is waking up to all these chancers
Ah tís grand he can just use one of his other identities. He’s off to Mullingar in the morning to sign on. Then he has to make it to Tullamore to sign on there.
Why not just go to China & seek asylum there.
They actually have opportunities.
