Deportation fight: Meadows mum back home

A MUM-OF-TWO from The Meadows who was to be deported on Fridayhas been allowed home.

Selina Adda and her two children had been held at Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire since Monday.

Campaigners paid for a solicitor to fight Miss Adda's case and a temporary injunction was issued against her deportation.

She and Brian, eight, and Chelsea four, were allowed back home to Blair Court in The Meadows on Friday.

More than 1,000 people have signed petitions against Miss Adda's deportation.

She has lived in The Meadows for four years and her children attend St Patrick's Catholic Primary School in Wilford.

Head teacher Nick Benzie said: "We hope that our letters and petitions in support of them staying in Nottingham are heeded and that Selina and her children are allowed to remain in the UK for compassionate reasons.

"We would like to welcome them back through our school gates as soon as possible.

"They are a warm and caring family."
