David Hanson MP, Labour’s Shadow Immigration Minister, responding to the failed and chaotic deportation attempt of Isa Muazu to Nigeria, said:

“Theresa May needs to explain how this case has been handled. How could the Home Office put a man in this medical condition on a long flight at taxpayers’ expense with no agreement from anyone that the plane could actually land? Deportations should be carried out with competence and humanity - neither of those things seem to have happened in this case.”
