TROUBLE! ! SEE What Court Did To PDP Chieftain In Canada After He Claimed APC Tried To Kill Him
A Canadian Federal Court has denied the asylum request of Adam Omozakari Ayonote, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stating that his claims of persecution lack credible evidence. In a ruling issued on November 15, 2024, Justice Whyte Nowak determined that Ayonote did not adequately support his assertions of threats and violence associated with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ayonote alleged that he was shot multiple times in 2005 by a member of the APC and claimed he fled to Canada in 2018 after receiving death threats following his testimony in a corruption case against a senior APC figure in 2014. However, the court identified inconsistencies in his account. Justice Nowak pointed out that the APC was established in 2013, which made it implausible for the party to be involved in the alleged attack from 2005.
Moreover, the judge noted that Ayonote failed to link the incidents he described— including an airport attack in 2018— to his political activities or any genuine fears of persecution. The court’ s ruling underscored that Ayonote could not establish a connection between the 2005 shooting, the 2018 airport incident, and the 2014 corruption trial, stating, ” The Applicant failed to connect the 2005 shooting and the 2018 airport attack to the 2014 trial. ”
The decision also highlighted significant inconsistencies and omissions in Ayonote’ s testimony, leading the Refugee Appeal Division (RAD) to doubt the occurrence of the critical events he claimed. Furthermore, the court raised concerns about Ayonote’ s credibility, noting that he traveled to the United States in 2014 and 2015 and returned to Nigeria despite asserting that his life was in danger.
In summary, the court’ s decision reflects a comprehensive examination of Ayonote’ s claims, ultimately finding them unsubstantiated and inconsistent. The ruling emphasizes the necessity of providing credible evidence in asylum cases, particularly when alleging political persecution.
