Why this evidence
Refusals turn on profile, not nationality
Nigeria remains among the highest-volume asylum nationalities in the UK. Home Office decisions often lean on generic CPIN positions that miss SSMPA criminalisation, IPOB diaspora activity, North-East conflict exposure, FGM risk by ethnicity and locality, or trafficking with juju coercion.
Reports are drafted for Immigration Tribunal Practice Direction paragraph 10 and the Adam Pipe October 2025 expert evidence guide. Current CPINs cited include April 2026 IPOB, June 2025 SOGIESC, August 2024 actors of protection, and EUAA Country Guidance Nigeria 2026 — applied to the appellant’s facts.
