We should retract it.
In a video making the rounds on social media, Tiamiyu, who made headlines a few months ago following a controversial interview with the BBC over Nigerian immigrants, is now facing scrutiny over a financial dispute involving the UK government.
The incident traces back to a recent BBC interview in which Tiamiyu made remarks about Nigerian students in the UK, suggesting that many use the student visa system not for academic pursuits but to work and bring their families to the country.
The interview reportedly influenced the UK government’s decision to impose restrictions on Nigerian students, specifically barring them from bringing family members to the UK unless they are enrolled in PhD programs.
Following the controversial interview, Tiamiyu is alleged to have defrauded the UK government of £160,000. Reports suggest that the funds, intended for resettlement purposes, were instead used by Tiamiyu to construct a house in his native Ogun State in Nigeria.
The UK government has yet to release an official statement regarding the deportation or the specifics of the fraud allegations.
