Convicted Drug Dealer’s Deportation Case to Be Reheard After Home Office Error

  • A Nigerian man convicted of drug supply offences will have his deportation case reconsidered in the UK.
  • The Home Office mistakenly accepted he lived lawfully in the UK most of his life, though tribunal documents show he was unlawfully present for over eight years.
  • Shoyombo was jailed for 40 months in 2023 after conviction at Nottingham Crown Court for supplying heroin and crack cocaine, and he argued for a private life exception.
  • A spokesperson from the Home Office stated that they are fully committed to challenging the case and, after winning an appeal, it is set to be reconsidered.
  • The case's rehearing follows government reforms aiming to strengthen deportation rules and increase removals of foreign offenders, reflecting Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's pledge for clearer judicial guidance.
