UK-Based Nigerian Man Who Sponsored Wife’s Relocation Reportedly Gets Her Deported After Alleged Abuse
UK-Based Nigerian Man Who Sponsored Wife’s Relocation Reportedly Gets Her Deported After Alleged Abuse
By: Pulse Daily News
A Nigerian man living in the United Kingdom has reportedly deported his wife back to Nigeria after she allegedly mocked his job, abused him physically and verbally, and even called the police on him.
According to a narration shared online, the man works as a carer and had sponsored his wife’s relocation to the UK after their marriage in Nigeria.
Once in the UK, the wife allegedly began belittling his work as “dirty” and repeatedly threatened to involve the police if disagreements arose. The source claims there were also instances of physical assault, and on one occasion, she called the authorities to have him arrested.
After enduring months of alleged abuse and receiving no intervention from her family, the man:
-
Filed for divorce
-
Reported the incidents to authorities
-
Requested her removal from his Certificate of Sponsorship (COS)
This led to her visa being revoked, and she was subsequently deported to Nigeria
Social Media Reactions
The story sparked debates online:
-
“Her plans failed… The usual tricks to take over a man’s hard earnings failed her.” – @Tarilabor_
-
“I don’t know why Nigerian women are like that… My brother brought his wife abroad and it ended in constant fights.” – @Nithsmit
-
“The man did well… When it becomes physical abuse, RUN.” – @THE_CRAFT3R
Some also shared similar experiences, with one X user recounting how a friend in Canada sent his wife back after discovering plans to divorce him post–permanent residency.
The UK Home Office states that a spouse or partner on a family or dependant visa must either apply for a new visa or leave the country if the relationship ends. The same applies if the visa holder is removed from a sponsor’s COS.
Visa consultant Mobolaji Ogundairo warned couples to fully understand each other’s character and tolerance levels before moving abroad on dependency arrangements.
“If you can tolerate each other’s lifestyle, fine. If not, find someone else before you make the move,” Ogundairo said.
