Oyogist has learned that a recent report shows how Authorities in new Zealand tried for years to deport Auckland knife attacker.
The statement came after a court in New Zealand lifted suppression orders and allowed the publication of details on the attacker.
He was identified in court documents as Ahamed Aathil Mohamed Samsudeen, a Tamil Muslim from Sri Lanka.
The 32-year-old had arrived in New Zealand 10 years ago on a student visa seeking refugee status, which was granted in 2013.
Ardern, who referred to Samsudeen as “the terrorist” and did not mention his name, said he came to the attention of the police and security services in 2016 after expressing sympathy on Facebook for “terrorist” attacks.
