The Canadian government is set to deport a Nigerian family five who claimed they fled to the country out of fear that their daughter would be subjected to female genital mutilation.
CBC.Ca reports that Rasheedat Bakare, her husband Afeez, son Faaiq and daughter Faiqah all fled Nigeria and arrived in Canada in 2017. The family's youngest daughter, Farhana, was born in Canada in 2018.
However, they were denied refugee status on Thursday and were told to leave the country by 3 p.m. on Friday. Speaking to CBC, the wife said: "My children's life, my husband's life is at risk. We ran away because they wanted to circumcise my baby girl - the one I brought from Nigeria. When I got to Canada, I had another baby girl. Currently, I'm pregnant with another baby girl. Now I'll have three baby girls and all of their lives are going to be at risk."
On Friday afternoon, after Rasheedat - who is approximately five months pregnant - collapsed and was rushed to hospital, the government issued a temporary delay on the deportation order.
Afeez Bakare said he's not sure when he and his family will be required to leave. He said: "I don't want my life and my family to be in danger. My wife is in a state where she is restless, she cannot do anything."
Cee-c tackles Twitter users trolling her for showing solidarity to Uti Nwachukwu
So here is the gist. Some Twitter users, mostly BBNaija's Tacha fans, have been on social media all day, calling for actor, Uti Nwachukwu, to be dropped by a European Association which he represents.
According to them , Uti is in the habit of trolling women and should not be affiliated to such an organization. They accused Uti of attacking their favorite BBNaija pepper dem housemate, Tacha, while in the house and even when she was disqualified.
Well, Ceec who got a lot of support from Uti while she was in the BBNaija "Double Wahala" house, took to her Twitter handle to show solidarity to Uti in the wake of the recent developments.
Tacha's fans did not like her position and swam into her timeline to attack her and she responded to some of them.
