A Nigerian woman, Anna Omokhaye and her daughter Titi, have exhausted most of their avenues of appeal to challenge Canada’s decision to deport them back to Nigeria, from where they fled three years ago.

And, because Titi’s father, according to her mother, is ultra traditional, there’s concern Titi may be married off or face genital mutilation if she goes back.

“He wants to use her, the first-born girl, in a traditional ceremonial sacrifice to the gods. And, if that happens, she’s not going to be like she used to. After the sacrifice, she might become, God forbid, barren or mentally not balanced,” says Anna, who works in the environmental service department at The Ottawa Hospital, where she’s been since shortly before the pandemic.

It was Anna’s opposition to a ceremonial sacrifice that initially led her to flee Nigeria in 2018, exacerbated by unrelated violence in the country in which two of her siblings were slain in 2011 and 2017, she said. She arrived first in Maryland, spending four months there, before coming to Montreal. A month later, she moved to Ottawa.

In her basis for claim for refugee status, Anna cited the killings of her siblings in what amounted to another family trying to take over her family’s property. That claim was denied in March 2019, with the judge deciding on an internal flight alternative, or IFA, a common response suggesting that Anna and Titi were not in grave danger and could move to a different city in Nigeria.

A subsequent appeal was dismissed by the Refugee Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, as was a request for a judicial review. Last summer, an appeal to federal court was also dismissed.

Her lawyer says the decision to deny Anna refugee status “doesn’t take into consideration that the whole of Nigeria is a time bomb. Everybody is telling their citizens not to go there, so how can we then say that she could just move to another part of the country?”

Adegunwa says an application for a judicial review filed in November is still pending, while an application for a stay of removal is expected to be filed this week so Anna and Titi can remain in Canada pending the federal court’s decision.

As it all unfolds, Anna says she just wants to stay in Canada and make a life for herself and Titi. “I want to get my sanity back and go back to my normal life. I want to be able to take care of my daughter and live my life in Canada. I want to be given the opportunity to be able to contribute more.”

Since i heard the story on nairaland of a man who arrived the US with his wife on visit visa and allowed her to deceptively marry a citizen so they can both get permanent stay 3 years later (she even got pregnant for the man) ....i know that nigerians can package anything just to stay abroad...
