Nigeria generates one of the highest volumes of asylum claims in the UK. Key profiles include LGBTQ+ persecution under SSMPA, Boko Haram and ISWAP targeting, IPOB political persecution, witchcraft accusations, FGM, and Christian-Muslim communal violence. Home Office refusals frequently rely on generic CPIN positions that do not reflect profile-specific risk.
Independent Nigeria country experts assess conditions with dated Nigerian primary sources — EUAA Country Guidance Nigeria 2026, updated SOGIESC and separatist CPINs, and field research.
