Nigerian man who died after altercation with border officials said deportation would be a death sentence.

"This is a life and death issue," he said in the hearing, according to the transcript. "I told the officer if you are asking … 'You are sending me to my death.' It's like you are asking me to drive into a ditch … very dangerous for me."

"I'm not asking for money, I'm not asking for housing, I'm not asking for medical help, all I'm asking for is please, your honour, save my life."


Calgary police are probing the death of a man who died following an altercation with border officers as they were trying to deport him. Police, who have not publicly identified the man, said it will be months before full details can be released about the man's death.

But documents from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada Immigration Division identify the man as a Nigerian citizen who had been engaged in a lengthy battle to stay in Canada.

The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is not naming the man until his next of kin have been notified.

An autopsy performed Wednesday did not confirm a cause or manner of death. Further testing can take up to six months, said Staff Sgt. Colin Chisholm with Calgary Police Service's homicide unit.

The altercation took place prior to takeoff from Calgary. The plane was forced to return to the gate, where the CPS airport unit was called to the scene.

Officers found the 49-year-old man in medical distress. He was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to police, the altercation with the border officers took place around 3 p.m. He was officially declared dead an hour and a half later.

The two CBSA officers were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

If one lives in a developed country for a few years, going back to Nigeria could indeed feel like going to hell. Except you have lots of money to afford close or more than the standard of living offered in a first world country.

True. The guy probably envisaged the kind of problems he's coming to face in Nigeria.

RIP to the poor man, he should blame his fore fathers that ruined the country. He would be with them now questioning them why they have raised such useless leaders the way they are, why they remain silent on matters of justice, why they fail to emulate good things in advanced countries, why they hav made their children believe in fairy tales, unnecessary superstitions that have kept our people backward

Pray that they get a new president from the south or south west?

This is why it's very important to Immigrate legally, those people don't compromise their system, if you like live there for 20 years illegally, they will still deport your asss.

Quite a sad way to die. It is possible that he has medical conditions that was aggravated because of the stress.
