“My children’s life, my husband’s life is at risk,” said Rasheedat Bakare. “We ran away because they wanted to circumcise my baby girl — the one I brought from Africa. 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.”
These are the words of a nigerian woman, Rasheedat Baker, as she faces deportation from Canada, alongside her husband and two children.
According to reports, she and her husband, Afeez, were denied refugee status on Thursday November 28, by Canadian authorities who asked them to leave the country by 3 p.m on Friday November 29.
the directive led to a protest being staged outside the office of Windsor West NDP MP Brian Masse by the African Community Organization of Windsor (ACOW).
