High Court grants judicial review of the decision refusing a Nigerian national international protection, on the grounds that the International Protection Appeals Tribunal’s findings were unreasonable and: failed to take into account the Nigerian national’s explanations; took into account irrelevant considerations in its assessment of his credibility; and engaged in conjecture and/or speculation in the evaluation of his evidence.
