Failed Asylum Seeker Loses His Case To Be Deported Back To Nigeria.

  Mr Isah Muazu
Lawyers for a failed asylum seeker who was on hunger strike have said the Home Office has confirmed his removal from the UK. They said Isa Muazu, 45, is now "near death", but the Home Office said he was "fit to fly" back to Nigeria.
Last-minute challenges by his lawyers to halt his removal were also rejected. Mr Muazu began his hunger strike in September, arguing his asylum claim "was not treated fairly". He said that he came to the UK "for a better life", and would "rather die" than face removal.  Last-minute challenges by his lawyers to halt his removal were also rejected.
