Schoolmates pray for court to halt boy’s deportation

SCHOOLMATES of a four-year-old boy suffering from Attention Defect Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are praying his legal team gets an injunction in the High Court today to prevent his deportation.

Last Thursday, Minister for Justice Michael McDowell turned down a request by Great Agbonlahor, his twin sister, Melissa, and mother, Olivia, to stay in this country. He intends to return the two children to Nigeria where their mother was born even though they were born within the EU, in Italy.

The Agbonlahor's solicitor, Kevin Brophy, confirmed yesterday that he was set to make an application in the High Court today seeking an interim injunction to halt the deportations.
