Violent rapist allowed to stay in UK to rape again

[Trint]

Is there already a thread on this case? I will ask for this one to be removed if so. I am just angry that this horrible man’s feelings were put before the fact that he had a fetish about violent rape.

It is quite wrong that the judge ordered he should be allowed to stay in the UK when it was clear to the Home Office that he would rape again.
Sorry, I have tried to insert a question about there being an inquiry into the decision of the judge to let him stay to rape women again but my phone won’t let me.

Why do you care so much about the wellbeing of violent thugs over the wellbeing of British women/girls. These people destroy lives and most right minded people dont give a shit about THEIR human rights 😬

How does 'send them back' work if it's sending to a country that he's never been to?

It works in exactly the same way as someone who has lived there, you pop them on a plane and send them back. Or was your point more that we should think about how hard that would be for the poor rapist?

It's fucking horrifying. This was actually his third sexual offence:

• He was jailed for his first known sexual offence in 2022, where he was convicted of false imprisonment. From what's been said of that case, he didn't actually commit rape, but it was acknowledged that he was a grave danger to women. This was when the Home Office wanted him deported.

• He was alleged to have raped a woman in 2024, which he was (is?!) on bail for.

• He committed this rape in 2025.

The failure to give him a hefty sentence for the 2022 offence (false imprisonment sentencing can range from a community order to life imprisonment!), or to deport him, meant that he was free to rape two years later.

The failure to deal with his 2024 offence quickly, without custody or deportation, meant he was free to rape again a year later. Why wouldn't he? His experience had shown there was no consequences for his actions.

My view is that sentencing needs to be far more severe for sexual offences, and if there's the option of deporting the offender, take it. Gods know we've got enough British born misogynists and rapists, there's no need to play host to any more if we can avoid it.

I don't give a shit about the feelings of violent or perverted criminals, regardless of where they were born. In the case of immigrant ones, they forfeited any life they built here by being predatory shits, and consideration for their well-being should be waaaay down the list in comparison to the feelings of their victims, or the well-being of women and girls that their continued freedom would endanger.

In the case of homegrown ones, being placed on the sex offenders register for life after release should be mandatory, along with chemical castration, electronic tagging and lifelong monitoring and check ins (including random checks of computers and devices). No, "Oh, there's a good chance of rehabilitation, he should have a shorter sentence".

I disappointed at the posters who subtly suggest that the Nigerian criminal justice system isn't up to dealing with crimes such as rape. Should the UK impose itself on foreign countries legal systems because we think the might UK is better at dealing with violent offenders (which it clearly is not)?
The UK law should be transparent and the consequences for breaking the law also be transparent. There should not be people suggesting that it is up to the UK to deal with foreign nationals who commit crimes even if the law says they should be deported following their sentence. That kind of comment is beyond patronising and racist to boot.

He is 24, in 17 years he'll be 41, plenty young enough to rape and attack again but he will probably be released in his 30s..... Great!

He made choices, he must face the consequences of those choices, which should be deportation.

Mahmood says she is very tough on these sorts of things, lets she what she has to say and will do.

I don’t even have the words for how outrageous this. What an awful read. Men should not be allowed to be the judge of a rape case, from the outcomes it’s quite clear they care more about a man’s feelings. I wonder if he’d done this to a man there would be a more reasonable outcome….

Personally I’d like surgical castration for all rapists, and anyone involved anything to do with children but not necessary rape…. I bet it would reduce crimes.

He should be locked up and after his sentence deported back to Nigeria.

We are not the world’s police, I think this judge needs to be struck off. What an upsetting statement.

Where do you think he should be sent to?

As another poster said, sending someone to a country that they have never visited, let alone lived in, doesn't sit well with me. That isn't to say that he should be treated lightly or that woman shouldn't be protected. A 25yr total sentence is recognition of how severe his crimes are.

I don't really care about the wellbeing of violent thugs.

I absolutely do care about the proper application of law.

Why do people keep saying 'back to'
He's never been there.

He should be locked up and after his sentence deported back to Nigeria.

He has been locked up and he undoubtedly will be.

Maybe the Home Office will even deign to turn up to his next deportation hearing, which they didn't bother to do for the last one.

Deport him where though? Would Nigeria even accept someone who has never been to the country?

It's really not as simple as the facetious "just pop him on a plane" from a PP upthread. It's a hugely complicated legal process which relies on the consent of the intended country of deportation as well. You can't just chuck deportees wherever just because.

Yep, Nigeria grants automatic citizenship if one of your parents is Nigerian, so he'd be deported to there. I don't give a shit if he's never been there - being sent to a country you've never been to before because you've broken the laws of the country you've immigrated to isn't as bad as being kidnapped and violently raped.

I thought he was Nigerian? If he was a British citizen he wouldn’t need to attend immigration hearings. He’s not a British citizen, a horrible criminal, he has no business in the UK after his time in prison.

Absolutely this.

The sentencing judge in 2022 will have applied some fairly strict sentencing guidelines. He can't just 'go rogue' and hand down a sentence that's completely outside the guidelines because he feels like it.

Those who advocate for judges to exercise their powers outside the rule of law are missing that if a judge can 'go rogue' in a way you approve of, they can also 'go rogue' in a way you seriously disapprove of.

He's a Nigerian citizen by law, because he has at least one Nigerian parent. Legally, they have no ability to prevent him from being deported there, just as we could reject a British immigrant to Spain being deported back here for committing crimes.

No one is saying it is. But it isn't a correct application of the law, and revenge isn't a principle of our law.

That doesn’t matter to the point I was making, the UK cannot be the police, justice and probation system for the world. It has failed, it will fail again- deportation is luckily for UK women an option open to Gvt so should be taken. If he is a Nigerian national born in another European country, whichever one consents to the deportation. As a PP said, perhaps the Nigerian system will have a stronger deterrent effect. Nothing in the UK system so far has deterred anything- his violence sexual attacks have escalated posing greater risk.

My point is around protection and prevention, not vengeance - whether a 17 year sentence ‘punishes enough’ is neither here nor there. What happens afterwards? (Rhetorical)

It was an immigration tribunal judge (Judge James Simpson) who let him remain in the country, not the judge in his initial trial for false imprisonment, who recommended he be deported.

The judge in his most recent trial has also recommended he be deported, and hopefully the HO will be able to carry this out with no appeal this time.

Just like Shamina Begum, he was raised here and is a British problem, how dare we send people who have become really shitty human beings on our watch to countries that have less claim on them than us, just because we don't want them.

Imagine the US went through their prisons and "deported" to us, anyone who was technically eligible for UK citizenship, one British grandparent and they become our problem. That would include Donald Trump, FFS, if ever convicted.

Most countries have horrible criminals but it's a weirdly British attitude that we should be able to wash our hands of them and palm them off on another population.

Nigeria absolutely could reject him. Countries can refuse entry to their own citizens and can even revoke citizenship.

The Shamima Begum case here in the UK was quite a high profile illustration of this.

Britain has been known to strip British born British citizens of citizenship to prevent them being deported back here after committing crimes. Let's hope Nigeria doesn't do the same with this guy.

Perhaps we should start by getting our own house in order, and recall back all the British men who have moved to more deprived countries to take advantage. Maybe start with Thailand.
There's a horrible undercurrent on this thread that people born in certain countries and with certain skin tones are more likely to commit these crimes. If it's really about protecting women, we should take responsibility for dealing with all our home grown rapists and sex offenders, we certainly produce plenty of them.

THe government did try to deport him after his first offence - deportation is automatic on all offences punishable by a year or more in prison.

Unfortunately the deportation order was struck down in court on rather spurious grounds - the government then appealed twice and both times the verdict of the first tribunal was upheld. I'm not sure what more the government could have done?

B of course.

He should go back to the country he is from. We have enough rapists here, we don't need any more.

Just like a British rapist in Nigeria. Why should Nigerian women be put at risk?

I think you'll find most countries deport foriegn criminals. There's nothing uniquely British about it.
