His illness is self inflicted, and all part of his attempt at preventing his own deportation.

Just get him out
He wasnt forced to go on hunger strike....theyll all be doing it next
Just read it through a few more times in case I missed anything...no

"John Packer, the bishop of Ripon and Leeds, had also spoken against the deportation, saying Muaza was in clear danger in his native country after defying the terror group Boko Haram by refusing to join their ranks."

how would he know the truth or otherwise of this persons story ?

so anybody who wants to come here just claims the same...all the lefties and luvvies come out in supoport and bazinga you get to stay.

Why did he come here rather any of the multitude of other african countries he could have gone to and would be far more suitable for him ?

let me guess...benefits etc etc etc

and like the mugs we are he will probably get to stay here
Unfortunately Baz you are very close to the truth. Expect you will upset the hordes of right-on luvvies on here though!
"Expect you will upset the hordes of right-on luvvies on here though! "

thats never bothered me before and its not going to now

just because they havent posted doesnt mean they havent read !
A man who is willing to put himself through possibly the slowest and most painful method of suicide there is probably isn't doing so for the sake of £70 a week conditional on regular job interviews and visits to a JCP. And he's probably going to die before getting that far anyway. Really, would you make up a total fabrication and then stick with it to the point of slowly killing yourself for the same? At the very least it must be suggestive, surely, that there is more to his motives than financial gain? Genuine fear, perhaps?

'"That the government is rushing to deport a man prepared to starve himself to death rather than be returned says everything about the culture of disbelief towards individuals fleeing persecution that is a defining characteristic of the UK's asylum process," [Sarah Teather] told Politics.co.uk.

"I find it hard to believe that a man who has refused to eat for over 90 days is playing the system and being wilfully manipulative. These are the actions of a desperate man who clearly fears for his safety should he be returned to Nigeria."'
dont be so naive jim

why come all the way here theres a multitude of countries he could have gone to...why the UK specifically ?
I can see nothing in the article to explain or expand upon why his asylum claim failed.

Also, if he ran away from being 'drafted' by Boko Haram then presumably the terrorists would have taken it out on his family? In other words, they're all dead so he has nothing to go back to.

For the £110K that Theresa p!$$ed up the wall on the private jet (!!!), they could have paid him £70 a week for 30 years and he's mid 40s as it is.

The trouble is, most of the psychiatric profession in this country are too preoccupied with treating deeply depessed or substance abusing recession victims that there aren't any spare to examine heads of MP's in Whitehall.

Take it away, Suggs...
Equally though, baz, why did he leave in the first place? And why is he killing himself so slowly now?

As it happens I don't exactly have any more sympathy for him than I would anyone else I don't really know who is dying. Also given that I've not really done much research I don't know the veracity of his claims or not, but presumably they must be real to him. Someone who was downright lying and got found out would probably have thought "Oh well, better luck next time", rather than take the action he is doing, no?
Lord Roberts, a Liberal Democrat peer > "I saw him on Tuesday when a doctor had judged him too sick to fly," <
>"Goodness knows what state he must be in now the poor man. He needs hospital treatment <

> Doctors at the centre have six times ruled that he is too ill to be held there, while staff were put on notice of "an imminent death", believed to be that of Muaza, last week. <

think of all the money the country could save if we just sacked all the doctors and let the tory mp's and atos treat the sick

It shouldn't have got this far in the first place, he should have been removed immediately his request was turned down.
anotheoldgit once one doctor never mind a few have said he needs treatment do you still think he should have been put on that plane

simple yes or no will do

You still have not addressed Baz's point regarding the fact of why he didn't just remove himself from Nigeria and applied for asylum in another African country.

I think that the next thing will be for his lawyers will sue the British government for allowing him starve himself nearly death.
If he's not considered insane then he's allowed to starve himself to death.
I can't really answer that point without knowing rather a lot more about this person than I do. At a guess, is elsewhere in Africa really far enough away?

That aside, this point that you made:

"It shouldn't have got this far in the first place, he should have been removed immediately his request was turned down,"

is a good one. If you accept that the due process of law has been followed in reaching a decision over his asylum claim, then once that decision has been properly made it ought to be carried out rather a lot faster.
