A family from Nigeria were scheduled to be deported from Canada on Friday after the Canadian Federal Government denied them refugee status.

The mother of the family, Rasheedat Bakare who is approximately five months pregnant collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.

The incident forced the Canadian government to issue a temporary delay on the family’s deportation order.

Mrs Bakare and her husband, Afeez, son Faaiq and daughter Faiqah reportedly fled Nigeria and arrived in Canada in 2017. The family’s youngest daughter Farhana was born in Canada in 2018.

The Bakare family case caught the attention of the African Community Organization of Windsor (ACOW).

The group on Friday staged a protest outside the government’s office in Windsor, a city in southwestern Ontario, Canada.

ACOW president, Claude Saizonou, said they had to protest the family’s deportation because they have been through such situation before.

“We never react. We never say anything,” he said. “And we just have [had] enough of it. We just want to stand up and say ‘If we don’t do it, nobody would do it for us.’ And this family has to stay today.”

Mrs Bakare said her the child they are expecting would also be a girl and returning to Nigeria exposes her daughters to genital mutilation (circumcision).
