The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Appeal Division dismissing his appeal and confirming the Refugee Protection Division's decision to deny him refugee protection.
The applicant alleged a fear of state persecution in Nigeria based on his nationality and political opinion as a member of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
The Federal Court held that the RAD's decision was reasonable, concluding there was insufficient evidence of a forward-looking risk and no error in the credibility or risk assessments.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
