his opinion, the decisions of the domestic authorities were arbitrary, except the argument
that his story was inconsistent due to the stress caused by the numerous interviews during
the asylum process. The Committee observes, however, that the negative asylum decision
of the domestic authorities was not based exclusively on the inconsistencies in the
complainant’s story, but was as well motivated by other considerations, and in particular by
the two documents found on him at the moment of his arrest in August 2014 (see para 2.2
supra). The Committee notes that the complainant has not addressed this fact in his
submission.

The Committee considers that in the particular circumstances of the present case,
the limited information presented by the complainant is not sufficient to permit either
establishing of the risk of torture for him in Nigeria by the DSSS or by A.U., or verifying
the arbitrariness in the decisions of the domestic immigration and other authorities in his
asylum case. In these circumstances, the Committee concludes that the complainant has
failed to sufficiently substantiate his claims, for the purposes of admissibility.

The Committee therefore decides:
(a)
That the communication is inadmissible under article 22, paragraph 2 of the
Convention;
(b)
That this decision shall be transmitted to the State party and to the
complainant.
