Don't deport Luqman Onikosi, doing so would almost certainly result in his death

Petition Details

Luqman Onikosi, is a student at the University of Sussex, and his deportation would essentially be a death sentence. He is chronically ill and the medication he needs to stay alive is not available in Nigeria, where his two brothers have already died from the same disease.

Additional Information

By signing this, you could help save his life. On average, international students pay triple the amount of home students, and contribute 2.8bn a year to the economy of London alone, according to the Guardian newspaper. Luqman has been an active and committed student, having co-coordinated 'Black History Month' and co-founded the 'Hear Afrika society'.
