This a petition to grant the Umoru family asylum and leave to remain in Britain. The family are Steve and Juliet Umoru and their two children, Divine an 8 year old little boy and Princess a 1 year 9 month old little girl.
They have fled persecution in nigeria from the village IKPE where they lived and face female genital mutilation and certain death if they are sent back to Nigeria. They are presently held in Yarls Wood imigration detention centre under unbearable psychological stress. The father, Steve has received injuries whilst being forceably removed from Yarls Wood and is now ill in Colnbrook detention facility. The children are scared and confused and in mental turmoil. Please help this amazing loving upright and christian family, who are contributers to our community and deeply loved by hundreds of people at st Georges church and the surrounding community. They are at imminent risk of being deported and desperately need your help, thank you for your support in this matter and God bless you.
The momentum behind this petition is increasing as we approach the two hundred and fifty signature threshold. Please amplify this request through your social networks to ensure the authorities recognize the urgency of the Umoru family situation.

The feedback from community members at St George's church has been encouraging and deeply moving. I am currently coordinating with legal representatives to ensure the family's dire situation remains at the forefront of their review process.

Sending them back to face that is a death sentence. Keep the Umoru family safe!

This is just heartbreaking. How can we treat a family like this? Let them stay in the UK where they are safe.

Ridiculous that this is happening. The kids dont deserve this kind of fear. Stop the deportation now.
