George, who arrived in the UK in 1986 at age 24, has a clean criminal record and suffered two strokes in 2019 that severely impacted his mobility and speech.
He has no immediate family in Nigeria and has experienced homelessness, often relying on friends for shelter. Despite multiple applications for leave to remain, all have been denied, with the latest rejection on May 7, 2024.

The Home Office maintains that applications must meet immigration rules and be judged on their individual merits.
