London, United Kingdom – Eniola* spent 13 years living in the UK, working within and becoming a part of the Nigerian community there. The UK government took four days to deport her before any chance to appeal.
She had left Nigeria in 2006, aged 39, with her son who was 10 years old at the time, she told Al Jazeera. In 2019, police officers came calling, told her she was under arrest for overstaying her visa, and took her to the Morton Hall immigration detention centre.
