A NIGERIAN student who faced deportation a day before sitting the Leaving Certificate at a Dublin school has been given a reprieve until after his exams.

Tunde Omoniyi had been asked to meet the Garda National Immigration Bureau next Tuesday to make arrangements for his deportation.

The 20-year-old, who has been in Ireland for four years, is set to begin the Leaving Certificate the next day.
