Ex-president’s case is Nigerian family’s only hope

THE former Mexican president Vicente Fox (Irish Examiner, January 2) argues against the policy of rich nations building walls to keep out immigrants from the so-called Third World.

How ironic that in the same issue you featured Olivia Agbonlahor and her twin children, Melissa and Great, who were deported to Nigeria last August by the Minister for Justice. This despite the fact that Great is autistic and was receiving treatment which is not available in the family’s native Nigeria or in Ghana where they are currently living.

Perhaps if Vincente Fox was Minister for Justice here, the Agbonlahor family would still be in Killarney where they would have had a happy festive season unliked the hellish one they had to endure in Ghana.
