Paternity fraud: UK court overturns ruling blocking deportation of Nigerian ex-convict.

The United Kingdom’s Upper Tribunal has overturned a court ruling that had blocked the deportation of 43-year-old Nigerian Olutobi Ogunbawo.

The decision to deport Ogunbawo followed a court’s rejection of claims by his wife, Maria Adesanya, that in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment was unavailable in Nigeria, DailyMail reports.

Ogunbawo had been convicted in 2019 for immigration offences related to conspiring with a British citizen to falsely claim paternity and subsequently served a three-year prison sentence.
