Gabriel Osaheni Aghedo has lived in Japan for 30 years. Islamic extremists threaten to kill him if he returns home, but the Japanese authorities refuse to recognise Nigeria as a high-risk country. This is why he cannot work and receive medical treatment in Japan. In 2020, only 47 asylum seekers or just 1 per cent had their application accepted.
Tokyo (AsiaNews) – Gabriel Osaheni Aghedo has lived in Japan for over 30 years, but his right to stay has not yet been recognised by Japanese authorities.
Aghedo, a Christian from Nigeria, first arrived in 1991 and his intentions were to live between the two countries; at least those were his plans until Nigerian Islamists threatened his life.
The group that later morphed into Boko Haram, now known across the world for its killings and kidnappings, issued a decree whereby a self-help book written by Aghedo violated teachings of the Qurʾān. Soon enough, the threats became real.
Published in Japan and distributed in Nigeria through his sister, the book soon led to retaliation from extremists who resorted to violence to intimidate Aghedo’s sister and other members of his family, forcing them into hiding.
Boko Haram even sent a letter to his sister promising to “kill Gabriel when he returns home.” Yet, for Japanese authorities, Nigeria is a safe country for Gabriel Osaheni Aghedo and his past asylum requests were rejected on the grounds that he could go back without risk of persecution against his person.
As noted by Bitter Winter, a religious freedom and human rights website, Aghedo is a very active member in the community where he lives in Tokyo, involved in the outreach campaigns sponsored by the Church of St Ignatius to which he had belonged for many years.

Because japan has unwritten policy of keeping Japanese blood pure. They don’t fool around. Japan bribed some African countries secretly and transported illegal blacks to Africa. On other hand japan has pretty loose policy toward eastern Asians, Korean or Chinese who are willing to immigrate to japan
I guess that makes the Japs … Gasp… “Racist!!!!!!!!!”
(Heads exploding…)
What a load of..
The Japanese are exactly right. And I have lived in Nigeria before.
Japan was isolated long enough to become one big family. I do not blame them for not taking in any refugees, it is their country and they do not have to share it with anyone. Japan is very definition of a nation state and they have the absolute and fundamental right to determine who they invite Into their country and to determine their own destiny.
Globalist slavers can FOAD.
Nope. It makes the Japanese smart and sensible.
Yeah, you and I know that, Joe…
But you dont hear the left screaming about it, because only “da whyte folks be rayciss”
Why Japan? Why not some other African country receptive to Nigerian “Christians?” I smell a rat. Prove he is a “Christian” first, if possible.
How will Japan ever be strong without diversity? Diversity is our strength! Somehow, though, it seems the more diverse we get the more our country is going to crap. Not sure how that works.
Maybe try another country?
Why can’t South Africa take them. They are still light years ahead of any African country.
If you watch certain Japanese media, you find Japanese men have a serious fear of AAs stealing their women.
They’ve traditionally been among the most ‘racist-minded’ populations in the world. They’ve treated even Koreans like sh!t.
WE WUZ KANGS AND SHEEIT!
I thought Gary Brooker passed away this week.
Correct.
Bkmk.
They’re just protecting their own culture, heritage, traditions, and society.
Cultural Self-preservation.
