Rejected petition Don't deport Luqman Onikosi, doing so would almost certainly result in his death

Luqman Onikosi, is a student at the University of Sussex, and his deportation would essentially be a death sentence. He is chronically ill and the medication he needs to stay alive is not available in Nigeria, where his two brothers have already died from the same disease.
