Nigerian woman ‘will be stoned to death if deported’

JUSTICE Minister Michael McDowell will be sending a Nigerian woman to her death if he does not overturn a deportation order against her, it was claimed last night.

Nimota Kate Banidele, who lives in west Dublin, could be stoned to death under strict Islamic laws if she is sent back because she had three children outside marriage with a Christian man.

The Residents Against Racism group held a demonstration outside Mr McDowell’s Progressive Democrat party office yesterday afternoon and presented a petition with over 2,000 signatures calling for the 38-year-old to be allowed stay in Ireland.
