For weeks, the town of Dol-de-Bretagne (Ille-et-Vilaine) has been mobilizing around the situation of Faith Otasowie, a young Nigerian woman subject to an Obligation to Leave French Territory (OQTF) with her son Gabriel, born in France.

“The prefectural decision fell suddenly in April 2024, breaking six years of reconstruction after a traumatic journey to escape a human trafficking network,” explains Gilbert Leduc, member of its support committee whose action has just found a happy ending.

“We can finally have a normal life”

This OQTF was, in fact, lifted on Friday November 29, 2024 by the administrative court, at the end of a procedure which was very morally difficult for Faith and her son.

“We can finally have a normal life,” remarks Faith, very happy with this court decision which will allow her to resume her work as a caregiver at La Parentèle.

This is an accommodation establishment for dependent elderly people (EHPAD) where, since 2020, she has been unanimously praised for her competence and kindness towards residents and her colleagues. However, last April, the prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine considered on the contrary that it was a “threat to public order”.

She was caught up in an old affair, linked to a mafia network of which she had been the victim above all after leaving her country for France where she hoped to find a better life.

« Merci ! »

This is now done in Dol, a town where Faith and her son Gabriel intend to stay as they have friends here to whom they simply say “thank you!” “.
