Let Luqman Stay in the UK
Donation protected
Please support Luqman's campaign to stay in the UK by donating towards his legal costs.
Luqman Onikosi came to the UK to study at the University of Sussex in 2007.
In the middle of his degree course, he became ill. He was diagnosed with Hepatitis B, which has led to a chronic liver condition. Luqman's two brothers in Nigeria have since died from the same disease.
Luqman and his friends in Brighton and across the UK are campaigning for him to be allowed to stay in the country. Britain is where his friends are and where he can find the medical care he needs to live with his condition. If he is forced to return to Nigeria it is likely he will face the same fate as his siblings.
In January 2018 the Home Office rejected Luqman's application for leave to remain in the UK. But thanks to many generous supporters, Luqman has lawyers to represent him and they have won the right to appeal against the decision.
This means Luqman can take his case to the immigration tribunal. We expect that he will receive Legal Aid to cover some of the costs. But important parts of the case - under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights - will not qualify.
All proceeds will be used to pay for Luqman Onikosi's legal representation and fees. In the event that we raise excess funds, these will be donated to Thousand 4 1000 (T4K), a charity in Brighton that supports people denied access to housing because of their immigration status, registration no. 1171590.
