Osuji v. Holder, Jr., No. 10-2259 (8th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePetitioner, a citizen of Nigeria, petitioned for review of the BIA's decision affirming the IJ's denial of asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture. The court held that substantial evidence supported the BIA's determination that petitioner was ineligible for asylum or other relief because he failed to demonstrate past persecution on account of his Christian religion or a well founded fear of future persecution if he were to return to Nigeria. Accordingly, the court denied the petition for review.
Court Description: Petition for Review - Immigration. Immigration Judge did not err in finding incidents recounted by petitioner did not rise to the level of persecution based on his religious beliefs; nor did petitioner show that he had a well-founded fear of future persecution if returned to Nigeria.
