Sisters back at school as mother flees state

THE two daughters of a South African woman who fled Ireland to avoid being deported returned unexpectedly to school yesterday — after friends of the family organised a ring-around for books and uniforms.

Senita and Yesunia Appiakorang were due to arrive back in South Africa early on Sunday morning, but the deportation was halted after their mother disappeared over the weekend. Nteta Appiakorang is thought to have fled to England.

Gardaí from the National Immigration Bureau in Dublin are working with police in London to try to locate the mother-of-two and extradite her back to Ireland.
