A question about the Pamela Isevbekhai case

photofinish

"The saga of Pamela Izevbekhai is like the plot of a 19th-century, three-volume novel. It has created something like turmoil in sectors of the media and the legal system. There’s been nothing like it for a long time.

Ms Izevbekhai is appealing a deportation order from Ireland on the basis that, if she returned to Nigeria, her daughters would be subject to female Core mutilation. She says another daughter, Elizabeth, died in 1993 at the age of 17 months, possibly from profuse bleeding as a result of FGM.

Except that now there is evidence that Elizabeth never existed. The documents purporting to chronicle her brief period on this earth are acknowledged to be forgeries.

Worse still, the “doctor” who gave interviews on two separate radio stations, Ocean FM and RTE, was an impostor - actually two different impostors! Meanwhile the real doctor whose name was used in the documentation says Elizabeth never existed but he wants €5,000 before he will discuss the matter with the media. Ms Izevbekhai’s lawyers have sought to withdraw from the case because of the forged documents. The State has spent something like €500,000 on the matter already but Ms Izevbekhai herself is getting a mere €19.10 per week.

The Nigerian Ambassador insisted on RTE last night there was no FGM problem in her country. But documentation from her government says it is quite widespread.

The final total cost was about €1 million.
Massive waste of money here and people who objected were branded racist.
My question is for the people who supported here wasted public money and trampled on peoples right to free speech.

Have one of these people ever come out and said sorry?

Just to add another thing I would say it's a pretty safe bet many of these same people were crying about the greedy bus drivers.:rolleyes:

Who supported her other than those nutty groups that are something like irish against deportation who think no one should be deported.

She only wanted an excuse to live her and this was best one she could come up with to live here. She gave genuine Assylum seekers a bad name but it also highlighted a lot of Assylum seekers are here to live and possible try to work in the future. Rather than be safe from civil wars

Now you've completely lost me?

As far as I can tell, you're blaming this woman for the Irish State choosing to spend ridiculous amounts of money prosecuting this woman, and now you're blaming her for the bus strike too?

The worst part of this case is the fact genuine cases are being left waiting on this to be fumbled through.

I remember newstalk doing a piece on suicide among asylum seekers which was quite high.

That said we owe it to genuine cases who have been tortured etc to waste no time with scammers. If fraudulent documentation is found, case closed and you will not waste what liytle resource the state has on retrails and garda resouce trying to track you.

Thank you..

Although I hated the bitch I feel genuine pity for her poor children who knew nothing of Africa and had probably made good Irish friends and felt just as Irish as my own children.

Good riddance to ol' Pammy all the same.
