The applicants, a family from Nigeria, sought judicial review of a RAD decision confirming they were neither Convention refugees nor persons in need of protection.
They claimed protection from pressure to undergo female genital mutilation.
The RAD found they had viable internal flight alternatives in Port Harcourt, Abuja, or Kaduna.
The Federal Court held the RAD's decision was reasonable, noting the applicants had not challenged the RPD's findings on the availability of IFAs before the RAD.
