The United Kingdom says it has been visiting the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi kanu, in prison.
A spokesman for the British High Commission, Mr. Joe Abuku, said this in an email sent to our correspondent on Friday.
Abuku said this in response to an email regarding Kanu’s letter to the High Commission.
The statement read, “We have provided assistance to Mr. Kanu since his arrest in October last year, including visiting him regularly in prison and attending court appearances in an observation capacity.”
The detained Biafran agitator, who is also a British citizen, had written a letter through his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, that the British government should not abandon him.
He had said, “It is repeating the obvious to state that our client is a full British citizen, by virtue of which position he is entitled to all rights, privileges and protection, guaranteed under the British laws and conventions.”
He also argued that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had violently abused his fundamental human rights through his prolonged detention in prison custody, adding that there was no way he would get a fair hearing.

Don't worry you will get a fair hearing, its just the sentencing that might not be.
ReplyDeleteMr kanu may chukwu abiama see you though this horrible, situation.as for British government, may thunder fire them all because they are the problem Nigeria has today.they caused all these calamities in the first place by merging biafara with these zoologists. Go would definitely prove himself in your situation amen
ReplyDeleteHow come a full British citizen will be in Naija detention without British Gov do sometin abuot it. Sometin is wrong here
ReplyDeleteKanu was not born in the UK,he acquired his citizenship based on the length of years he's lived in the country.He has Dual nationality which is different from being a true citizen.UK has a new law now where they are going to strip people who acquired their citizenship of it, if they partake in act of terrorism to the extent of making them stateless if possible.He better hope the present Home Secretary Theresa May doesn't strip him of his British Citizenship.He is foolish enough to think he is a true citizen of Britain
DeleteLike I always said, when the chips are down and Igbo people have been misled into another meaningless conflict that will cost their lives in millions, as was the case with Ojukwu, this agitator will find a safe haven outside Nigeria. Ojukwu did it, came back and became an elder statesman till his death. This is history repeating itself. Take the front row seat with me.
ReplyDeleteThe stupid dog will die in prison
ReplyDeleteIt takes a dog to know a dog
Deletesafari and samuel, may thunder scatter u ppl, is ur families that will die in masses and not the Igbo's, fools.
DeleteHe will be treated same way British Government treated their citizens who acted in same way he did.Nigerians should Google the name Bobby Sands MP,who did what Kanu did here in UK and how his life ended in the British Government hands,case closed!!

When the man called Kanu knew he was a British citizen why did he come to Nigeria to cause problems? Guy, remember you also have Nigeria passport, so u have to dance to the music u started...Bam Bam
ReplyDeleteShut up you idiot
DeleteOh C'mon, why should he shut up?
DeleteKanu must have known this will happen all along. The guy looks smart enough to know this script. Trust me the guy knows what he is doing. War is far from his mind. Creating the right propaganda around his purpose is key and he is doing it now.
The Igbos should realize that at the end of this sacrifice he is making, he intends to be their President, sorry their King till he dies. If he doesn't get that he turns back to Britain and lives a quiet life writing books and giving talks for money till he dies. Either way Nnamdi Kanu is a made man.
I thought he only have biafra passport and have destroyed other passport. How come he is claiming to be British now. May your god help u ooo.
