Stay on Nigerian mother's deportation order extended

A Nigerian mother who is seeking specialist care for her young son today had a stay on her deportation order extended. Olivia Agbonlahor, 36, fled from Italy to Ireland two years ago after claiming she had received threats from Nigerian Mafia figures.

At the High Court in Dublin Judge Finlay-Geoghan ruled that the stay on her deportation should continue. She ordered that Ms Agbonlahor’s legal team should apply for an interlocutory injunction to halt her deportation at a hearing on February 21 and that notice of the motion be given to the state.
