He was booked for deportation in late February but successfully asked the court to adjourn it because he needed time to retain a lawyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are disappointed by the outcome of Mr. Ogiamien\u2019s case. We are extremely concerned about the amount of money which the Government of Canada is spending to deport this one individual,\u201d said Cote. \u201cWe do not understand why Canada is spending this money to charter a plane to remove an individual who is not a danger to the public. Unfortunately, this was not explained to us, the client or the court.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"trackContent-0\" data-reactid=\"140\">\n<p>Ogiamien was awarded $60,000 in 2016 by an Ontario judge who ruled his charter rights were violated by multiple lockdowns at a provincial jail, where he had been detained for three years awaiting deportation. The award was quashed by the Court of Appeal for Ontario last August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"trackContent-2\" data-reactid=\"147\">\n<p>According to the court decisions from Ogiamien\u2019s previous litigation, he moved to the United States in 1980 and came to Canada in 2001. He got into trouble with the law when he was arrested for using forged documents at an Ontario driver\u2019s licensing office.<\/p>\n<p>He filed an asylum claim while he was serving a six-month jail sentence for the offence, but the claim was deemed abandoned when he was extradited to the U.S. to face charges there of forgery and identity theft. In 2005, he was deported back to Canada, which has been trying to deport him since.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto Star<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Toronto man has lost his last-ditch effort to delay his deportation to Nigeria after a 13-year fight that ended Thursday when the Federal Court refused to hear his latest request to suspend the removal.
