TA6-08027

Because the claimant's core allegation was undermined by material omissions in his port of entry notes and PIF, he failed to rebut the presumption of effective state protection, and objective country evidence showed the threat was regionally confined such that relocation to Abuja or Lagos was reasonable, the claimant did not establish a well‑founded fear of persecution nor meet the threshold for need of protection; claim therefore rejected.

Procedural Posture

Refugee Protection Claim / Decision by Refugee Protection Division

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether claimant has a well‑founded fear of persecution as a Convention refugee
  2. 2 Whether claimant rebutted presumption of state protection with clear and convincing evidence
  3. 3 Whether an internal flight alternative exists within Nigeria

Ratio Decidendi

Because the claimant's core allegation was undermined by material omissions in his port of entry notes and PIF, he failed to rebut the presumption of effective state protection, and objective country evidence showed the threat was regionally confined such that relocation to Abuja or Lagos was reasonable, the claimant did not establish a well‑founded fear of persecution nor meet the threshold for need of protection; claim therefore rejected.

Court Disposition

Claim rejected: not a Convention refugee and not a person in need of protection.
