Hassanat Omeneke Aliyu's second asylum claim has been rejected today, and she is due to be deported this Friday - 1st February.
She fled Nigeria in 2006 with her one year old daughter, who was threatened with Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). She was trafficked to Britain and has been living here for 5 and a half years, and is currently living in Newcastle. She now has three young daughters who have grown up here and become part of the community. Despite coming here seeking safety, the British government now wants to deport Hassanat and her daughters back to Nigeria where they have no family and friends and will still be under threat of FGM and the ongoing problems and conflict in Nigeria.
