A Nigerian rapist escaped deportation yesterday after European judges ruled he had a right to a ‘private life’ in Britain.
Akindoyin Akinshipe, 24, was due to be sent home after losing appeal after appeal in the British courts over his jailing for an attack on a girl of 13.
But in a staggering reversal yesterday, the European Court of Human Rights said this would breach his right to a ‘private and family life’.
