BRITAIN plans to deport a 22 year old German-born Nigerian Junior Bayode when he finishes an 11 year jail term he is currently serving for manslaughter despite his claim that he is British and has never set foot in Africa before. 

In what is likely to be a serious legal matter, Mr Bayode was 19 when he took part in the mob stabbing of Sofyen Belamouadden, 15, and was given 11 years for manslaughter in 2013. He is due to be freed in 2019 and the British authorities plan to deport him as they claim he is not British as he was born in Germany and his mother, who is from Nigeria, brought him to the UK aged nine months. 

Mr Bayode who has never been to Africa, has blasted jail chiefs over the decision to deport him. He has already written to prisoners’ paper Inside Time from Moorland jail in Doncaster, pointing out that he is struggling to understand why he is being deported. 

He added: “I may not have been born here but all I know is the British way of life. I have neither travelled nor been to any other country since I arrived in the UK over 20 years ago. 

“My past, my present and my future is firmly rooted in British soil, hence why I am struggling to understand why I have been served with a deportation order to a country I have never been to, Nigeria. I was distraught when I read on the order that I can only appeal after my deportation.” 

According to Mr Bayode of Streatham, South London,  the British Home Office’s deport first, appeal later, policy was designed to hit migration targets regardless of human rights. He was convicted of manslaughter in 2013 after Mr Belamouadden was chased by a gang of around 20 youths from a rival school and stabbed nine times in just 12 seconds in front of shocked commuters in Victoria Underground Station, resulting in five trials at the Old Bailey with 17 convictions resulting.
