The Canadian government is set to deport a Nigerian family of five who claimed they fled to the country out of fear that their daughter would be subjected to female genital mutilation.<\/p>\n

Reports have it that Rasheedat Bakare, her husband, Afeez, son Faaiq and daughter, Faiqah all fled Nigeria and arrived in Canada in 2017.<\/p>\n

However, the family\u2019s youngest daughter, Farhana, was born in Canada in 2018.<\/p>\n

Applying for asylum, they were denied refugee status on Thursday and were told to leave the country by 3 p.m. on Friday.<\/p>\n

Speaking to CBC, the wife said: \u201cMy children\u2019s life, my husband\u2019s life is at risk.\u00a0We ran away because they wanted to circumcise my baby girl \u2014 the one I brought from Nigeria. When I got to Canada, I had another baby girl. Currently, I\u2019m pregnant with another baby girl. Now I\u2019ll have three baby girls and all of their lives are going to be at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Friday afternoon, after Rasheedat \u2014 who is approximately five months pregnant \u2014 collapsed and was rushed to a hospital, the government issued a temporary delay on the deportation order.<\/p>\n
