The applicants sought judicial review of a decision by the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) dismissing their refugee claim on credibility grounds.
The applicants claimed fear of persecution in Nigeria due to an interfaith marriage and the potential genital mutilation of their daughter.
The Federal Court found the RAD reasonably assessed the evidence, including the applicants' failure to mention a domestic relocation early on, insufficient police report evidence, and their failure to claim protection during extensive foreign travel before arriving in Canada.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
