      “A Nigerian man convicted of breaching a no-contact order with his former partner has convinced a New Brunswick judge to grant him a conditional discharge to avoid deportation.

      Adebowale Adekoya, 33, appealed his sentence of 12 months of probation to the Court of King’s Bench.”

      The original charge was assault btw

      Good because we need more people in Canada. Now the Liberals wants to propose a $500k fee or tax for young Canadians that leave the country for relocation for better career opportunities. That will stop them from leaving. I mean it isn’t the Berlin wall but who’s keeping track.

      Crown should appeal.

      Judges are not allowed to consider deportation in their sentencing.

      >One of the most adverse collateral consequences of the sentence imposed on Mr. Adekoya is the imminent risk of deportation. This constitutes a significant adverse repercussion on Mr. Adekoya. As a collateral consequence of the sentence imposed, Mr. Adekoya is likely to be deported to Nigeria and experience significant social and economic hardship.”

      Well gee, maybe Mr Adekoya should have thought about that before breaking the law. I’m sick of these criminal-coddling judges. Who cares if he gets deported? Why do we want more criminals in our country?

      We have a two tiered justice system. Our Government is so corrupt they don’t even pretend to hide this while denying it publicly.

      „Justice Mario J. Lanteigne wrote in a recent decision.“ Name and shame the eejit!

      Seems he was just appointed in December 2015 – not off to a great start…

      We need a complete overhaul of the justice system in this fucking country, yesterday.

      Judges, prosecutors, and other court officials enjoy *Absolute Immunity* from any consequences as to their decisions.

      Which is to say, they can do literally anything they want, and the only oversight they will ever receive comes from their fellow judges and prosecutors.

      Disrespect the law and the law rolls over.

      Is it stupid laws or stupid people given to uphold those laws? 🤷

      Without a job how would he maintain residency, as I assume no employer will want him?

      In any event this just prevents *automatic* deportation, he will likely still be deported.

      And he should

      That judge sucks.

      Why is he helping a criminal stay in Canada?

      Fuck that guy, send him home.

      I’m sure the liberals will fix this even though they’ve already had 15 years!!
      Keep voting for incompetence

      This is a direct quote from the article:

      „Police charged Adekoya on Jan. 8, 2025 with assaulting his former partner“. So not only has this guy been charged with assault, he also breached a no contact-order with his partner who he assaulted and we care about not deporting this guy.“

      We have a systemic problem on this country of leniency. It has gone too far.

    21. monotious on

      The underlying offence that Me. Adekoya was charged with is assault. As far as I can tell, that charge has not been fully tried, and with respect to that charge, the man is innocent, as in innocent until proven guilty.

      When he was charged with assault, he received a “no contact” order from court, preventing him from contacting the alleged victim, pending resolution of the assault charge.

      He violated that order and was separately charged with disobeying the order and obstructing justice. It is this second charge with respect to which he received leniency being discussed in the article. Even though this second offence took place later than the alleged assault, it got resolved first. 

      So yeah, logically the court ruling doesn’t seem unreasonable. Compared to the assault, the violation of the “no contact” order is a relatively minor, and certainly a non-violent crime, and considering the nature of the offence, I don’t find it unreasonable that his immigration status was considered in sentencing. Reminder again, that at this stage, he is an innocent man as to the assault charge. And in fact, he should NOT be deported from Canada in order for him to properly face the justice system with respect to the assault charge. To deport him at this stage means that he will not be properly tried for, and face the justice system, with respect to the assault charge.

      Now we’ll see what happens with his main, underlying assault charge. If anyone actually bothers remembering or caring beyond 2 minutes after clicking away from this post, and getting mad.
      It’s so sad that our journalism is so irresponsible, stoking fire with sensational titles and causing distrust in the system with less than complete explanation (without necessarily speaking any untruths) when they must know full well that an average reader is not equipped to read critically or appreciate nuances in what they write.

      Wild seeing these kinds of posts every day. I feel like when I see snippets/clips of American judicial decisions it’s the opposite.

      Is it our system causing this or is it the mentality of the judges? I’m truly baffled by it.
