Mum makes appeal for son to remain in the UK.

A Nigerian mum tonight made a heartbreaking appeal for her son to be allowed to stay in the UK - hours before he is due to be deported to Africa.
Little Rafeeq Atanda would “not be safe” if he was sent to Nigeria - a country he has never lived in - said his devastated mum.
The five-year-old and his mother, Bola Fatumbi, from Gateshead, were tonight being held in an immigration centre in London ahead of their scheduled deportation late tonight.Mrs Bola said''I feel safe in Gateshead, but we have no one in Nigeria.
“Rafeeq was born here, he goes to school here and is doing well, it is so very hard for us.
“There are so many kidnappings and frightening things with Boko Haram happening in Nigeria, it would not be safe.”
Fighting back tears, Bola, 30, told how she had first come to the UK following the death of her parents and brothers and sisters in a car tragedy in Nigeria in 1997.
She said: “It was so hard but I thought I’d have a better life here and we have made a lot of friends in Gateshead.”i don't know about you but i smell a big fat lie here,what do you think?
