Il criminale nigeriano ‘gay può rimanere nel Regno Unito nonostante usa la moglie per rivendicare l’asilo

“A Nigerian jailed for violence has won a legal battle against deportation after claiming to be gay despite having been married to a woman and fathering a child by another.

The man, who arrived in Britain in 1983, made a series of initial asylum claims unrelated to his sexuality.

Originally, he claimed he would face persecution because of his political opinions. But when this was rejected, he sought leave to remain on the basis that he had married a woman living in the UK.”

This has become one of the go-to lines often based on falsehoods. It’s almost like a tick box exercise now, where the person goes down the list until they come at an answer acceptable to the home office.

I mean being bisexual is a thing, and likely to have the same stigma if he’s had known relations with a man, which it appears he had:

>In evidence, he cited communications from his family in Nigeria over his relationship with a man from 2010 to 2013.

>He told the court they had told him to end it, saying he was “bringing the family into ridicule and shame”. They said they would inform the security services of his sexuality.

It never gets mentioned, but the headline should be:

> “Funded by legal aid, the solicitors and KCs of a Nigerian criminal manage to successfully argue in court against other equally costly KCs appointed by the Government, and after a complex and lengthy case that started with a deportation order issued on 11 April 2006, **nearly 20 years ago**, in a case that probably cost the taxpayer in total hundreds of thousands of pounds, that he must not be deported due to his supposed sexuality.”. 

We should call out the legal system that permits this. Not so much that person.
