All these post, denial and fact checks by you guys will not work today!

SAMAJ:
A Nigerian, Adeyemi Opebiyi, has sued the United Kinngdom after he had been granted a visa and had flown from Nigeria to the Manchester Airport.

Opebiyi, who described himself as the Head of Operations, Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd, said on arriving at Manchester Airport on March 14, 2021, he was stopped by the UK Immigration official, who insisted that he must be interviewed before he could be allowed into the UK.

He claimed that he was made to wait for eight hours at the immigration desk before he was eventually interviewed by an Immigration officer, who asked him to draw the logo of Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd, among other things, as a way of verifying his claim that he works with the financial institution.

Opebiyi alleged that after drawing the logo as best as he could, the Immigration officer told him that the drawing was not good enough and he would be denied entry into the UK on that basis and related reasons.

He claimed that he was subsequently detained for 10 days before he was finally deported to Nigeria on March 24.

He said in response to his request for the review of the decision, he got a letter from the UK Home Office, reading: “You were asked to draw Sabi Micro Finance Bank LTD’s logo: What you drew bore little resemblance to the logos found on all the official paperwork you submitted for your visa application.

“Furthermore, you were initially unable to state the correct names of the current Chairperson and Managing Director of Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd. This is something a Head of Operations would know. You were also unable to describe the core values and mission of Sabi Micro Finance Bank Ltd as described on its website.”

In the suit filed on his behalf by UK-based Nigerian lawyer, Mr Femi Aina, a Senior Consultant Solicitor with Martynsrose Solicitors, UK, Opebiyi is demanding damages for what he termed the unlawful and humiliating treatment meted out to him by the UK Immigration officers.

The suit was filed upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum chamber) UK, with the Secretary of State for Home Department (UK) named as the sole respondent to the suit.

In the court papers, copies of which were made available to our correspondent, Opebiyi’s lawyer said, “The applicant spent 16 hours on his flight to London (Lagos-Doha-Manchester). He was held for about eight hours by the respondent for further examination. He was interviewed after eight hours’ waiting and was asked to draw the company logo. Despite the fatigue and the flight stress, he tried his best possible to draw the company’s logo. The respondent’s action is oppressive as it does not have regard for his well-being.

“The applicant showed his ID card, his MD confirmed his employment. The letter dated 9th April, 2018 and the one dated 12 August, 2020 from the CBN relates to his employment. His bank statement shows regular salary payment. All the above are relevant evidence regarding his employment. The respondent’s decision that he was not employed, or that false information was used in obtaining his visa, is wrong.

“By reason of the matters aforesaid, the applicant was unlawfully detained and deprived of his liberty for 10 days at Immigration Detention Centre (Colynbrook) from the date of his arrival, 14th March 2021 up to the date of his removal i.e. 24 March, 2021.

“The respondent has acted in a way that is incompatible with the applicant’s rights under the European Convention on Human Rights, contrary to Section 6(1) as a public authority carrying out Immigration Control.”

Describing the experience as the worst in his life, Opebiyi, in the court papers, said, “I was humiliated and distressed about the whole matter. A week after returning to Nigeria I could not go to work as I was mentally unstable. I have never stayed in detention in my life. The whole experience is affecting me psychologically till now. Anytime I hear detention or see anything about the UK, I cringe. I lost my savings on a fruitless journey to the UK. I am a victim of injustice.”

The applicant, through his lawyer, said he was entitled to a claim of between £5,000 and £20,000, with interest.

He explained that he lost a total of £1,593.00 from the cost of flight ticket, taxi fare to the airport in Nigeria, Administrative Review fees that he paid in the UK and the legal fees he paid to the lawyer who processed the Administrative Review for him.

“The claimant is entitled to interest pursuant to Section 69 County Courts Act 1984 on any sums due to him at such rate as the court shall think fit,” the lawyer said.

If you do ur findings very well and without being prejudice

You will know that federal government is sponsoring thousands of masters and PhD students in any university of their choice all over the world.


What about residency training for medical doctors.....it's only in Nigeria that is been done all over the world and most pathetic about it, after training them, they run to advanced countries to render their skill that federal government sweat to sponsor.

And the FG is bound by the constitution to keep Nigeria as one. So you see the problem? One wants to breakup the country and the other is bound by the constitution to ensure the country does not break up.

Which part of the Nigerian constitution gives room for sharia but not ESN of AMOTEKUN

when it favours you guys you remember the constitution

DeltaFire:

retired London Police Officer described IPOB as a STREET GANG.

I did research on that and it is exactly correct
I We should only engage and dialogue with non-violent people. Just as is done in those civilised oyeebo countries we all pray to live in.

You can only engage and dialogue with a leader

Buhari is an autocratic ruler!

Even you don't know the meaning of dialogue

Look at your comment, you have concluded already, so what's there to dialogue

Just keep living in denial

TIME TO STOP THE IPOB MESS IN THE S’EAST
New Telegraph
12 August 2021
Is it safe to say that IPOB has become more powerful than state governments in the area, such that their words supersede those of elected chief executives?

https://www.newtelegraphng.com/time-to-stop-the-ipob-mess-in-the-seast/

How can New Telegraph or whatever they call themselves ask this question when bandits, Bokoharam, ISWAP and fulani herdsmen are more powerful than the federal government

Is it not this very act of pampering these terrorists that made these secessionists pick up arms

I am disappointed in New Telegraph if they hadn't spoken against the terrorism, killing people in the North all in the name of sharia but chastising the south Easterners

Is sharia more powerful than the constitution or the federal government

There's a plan to islamize Nigeria, no amount of paid publication will stop the revolution if the government is adamant in it evil ways!

OyigboUpdate:
Ijelespeaks students are getting smart. Do your work as an elected official and stop talking about Biafram if u want us to wait for Biafra then you should stop collecting allocations.

You people are confused!

Weren't you ones chanting that Nigeria should hurry and plan the exit of the Biafrans

Remember he is always calling Buhari a pedophile and terrorist for marrying Aisha at the age of nine. Well ekperima Nnamdi Kanu impregnated this girl at the age of 17.

When will these propaganda stop

Aren't you guys ashamed of accusing a man who's not here to defend himself

Is this not cowardice

Na so Nnamdi Kanu existence threaten una reach

It's surprising that those countries where Sharia are imposed including Northern Nigeria, prefer to train their families and receive medical care in Western democratic countries.

CAGED: 20 Days Captive In Nigeria - Rudy Rochman
There was a non-Igbo man initially taken into custody with us and when he asked them not to yell at us, the interrogators threatened him by saying, 'I can make you disappear'. This is the kind of abuse of power we witnessed first-hand and the realisation that there is no accountability for the injustice."

Oga, the bolded is wrong, That mentality will only make the new country to come be worst than the zoo. Everyone has right of expression, so far as they are not hurting anyone

Zikojukwu:
The journey to freedom is not easy but with determination we will get there. Mockery, insult and even killing are sad parts of it but with resolute mind we will get there. Do you think North, media or even politicians will support you? No they won't, they're scared, afraid of losing out when it happens. So Biafrans, IPOBIANS, DOTIANS, we support the struggle because we can't afford to start burying our children killed by Fulanis
