Summary
Beydou Magagi Seybou, a national of Niger subject to removal and deportation orders, applied for habeas corpus challenging his immigration detention since April 2024. The Court of First Instance dismissed the application, finding the detention remained lawful under the Hardial Singh principles, as removal within a reasonable period was still achievable and the applicant was himself responsible for much of the delay.
