Here is some more background material. Full story at the link.

The case of Great Agbonlohar demonstrates once more the cruel and heartlesss nature of the Irish government’s deportation policy.

Great is a 6-year-old boy who has been diagnosed as autistic. Along with his twin sister, Melissa, Great was born in Italy and all 3 have lived in Clonakilty Co. Cork since March 2003 when the children were two years old. His family have spent the past two years fighting their proposed deportation to Nigeria. Great’s mother, Olivia, claims that Great would be treated as an outcast in Nigeria because of his condition and that his twin sister Melissa would be seen as a “voodoo sibling”.
