‘Our Daughter Will Undergo Female Circumcision If You Deport Us’- Nigerian Man

A Nigerian family Tony, Favour, Crystal and Jecinta Iluno are currently facing deportation from Australia unless their daughter, Crystal’s visa application succeeds. The family says terrible fate awaits them in Nigeria. Tony
said his daughter would be forced to undergo female genital mutilation upon their return.

For this reason, Crystal is asking a Federal Court to review the Immigration Department’s refusal to grant her a visa, which would in turn allow the entire family to stay in Adelaide. Mr Iluno and his family – wife Jecinta, Crystal, 10 and Favour, 7 – went to Adelaide in 2011 on his student visa.

In August, the Immigration Department declined to exempt them from having to return to Nigeria at the expiration of Iluno’s visa. An application on behalf of Crystal was also refused. Mr Iluno says he was a member of the Movement for Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, a secessionist group that is persecuted in Nigeria.

They fear that, if deported, they will be kidnapped and persecuted, and Crystal forced to undergo genital mutilation. Their current bridging visa expires on Tuesday. Judge Stuart Brown will determine their fate soon…. I’m tempted to invite Nicholas Fraser to sing “why u lying” for them bt I won’t……
