High Court halts boy’s deportation

THE High Court has made an interim order restraining the deportation of a Nigerian mother and her two children.

Olivia Agbonlahor claims deportation to Nigeria will adversely affect her four-year-old son who has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and associated conditions.

The injunction application was made yesterday by Proinsias O Maolchalain, for Olivia Agbonlahor, following a review of her case by the Minister for Justice last month in which the minister concluded he was satisfied the applicant’s child was not autistic and he made a deportation order.
