Nigerian wins right to stay in the UK,written by olagideon

A Nigerian woman, Roseline Akhalu, who was
facing deportation by the UK government
has finally won the right to stay in the UK.
In 2004, Akhalu moved to Leeds to study,
where she was later diagnosed with kidney
failure. She had a kidney transplant in 2009
and gained her stay based on the fact that
immunosuppressant drugs are not easily
accessible in Nigeria.
She said, "I will die if deported to Nigeria
because I would have no access to
immunosuppressant drugs."
The campaign for Akhalu to remain in
Yorkshire received overwhelming worldwide
support, with British actor Colin Firth said
to have also campaigned for her stay in the
UK.
