Two Nigerian Women to be Deported for Reporting Their Husbands to UK police

• Two Nigerian women risk deportation after reporting their spouses to UK police.
• They must secure a new Certificate of Sponsorship to stay in the UK.
• The case reflects a strict stance against exploiting public funds.

A UK-based lawyer, Dele Olawanle, has reported that two Nigerian women in the UK might face deportation after calling the police on their spouses to exploit public funds.

According to Olawanle, the UK government is cracking down on immigrants who use law enforcement to gain an advantage in the immigration process.

EKO HOT BLOG gathered that in the case he cited, the two women reported issues with their spouses last year. Following the incident, they became separated, and one even secured a council house in Leeds.

However, they have now been told to obtain a new Certificate of Sponsorship (COS) or leave the country, marking an end to what the lawyer described as “freebies.”

Olawanle remarked that these women now find themselves having to seek support from their estranged spouses, warning that those who try this tactic might soon learn a hard lesson.

Social media reactions followed quickly.

@StephenOrukpe8 expressed relief that it was their husbands who held the original COS, noting that if the roles were reversed, the dependents would be held accountable.

@iyasele_o humorously suggested that the news had even infiltrated Nigerian women’s WhatsApp groups.

@wale_oguns22 cautioned any spouses reading his comment not to be swayed by pleas on behalf of their wives or exes, warning that a woman capable of such actions might even pose a threat to their safety.
