The family of Nigerian taxi driver Moses Ayanwole have been told by the Department of Justice that he can become an Irish citizen — almost two months after he died.

One of these days Moses and his wife Olusola should have been getting into the car parked outside their front door and driving to a ceremony where they would have celebrated being granted Irish citizenship. Times, however, are very different now.

FRIENDS of the taxi driver who died following an assault after picking up a late night passenger have said he would never have put his life in danger by arguing over a fare.
