Metro UK Asks Nigerian Govt to Produce Nnamdi Kanu

The United Kingdom has sent an inquiry to the Nigerian government to clarify the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to the Press Officer, UK high commission in Nigeria, Joe Abuku, the inquiry followed reports that Mr. Kanu had been missing since September 14, 2017 when armed soldiers stormed his home in Abia State.

“We are seeking urgent clarification from the Nigerian authorities about the status and whereabouts of Mr. Kanu, a British-Nigerian man, who has been reported missing since September 14,” Abuku said on Thursday.

When asked if the UK would strip Kanu of citizenship on account of the declaration by Nigeria that he was leading a terrorist organisation, the mission said it does not comment on individual cases.

“One of the conditions that can make the United Kingdom strip its citizen of nationality is if the person engages in a terrorist activity at home or abroad. And Kanu has dual citizenship and therefore a citizen of Nigeria and the UK,” the mission stated.

“The Indigenous People of Biafra is not a proscribed organisation in the UK,” he stressed.

He was angry at first but when I presented the car to him his anger vanished,” said the man who identified herself as John. One source close to the family of the woman who fell pregnant says she knew about the affair but never thought it would lead to a pregnancy.

Politics Going to Aso Rock is Like Going to Jail- Osinbajo's Father-in-law

Image
The father of Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, Elder Olutayo Soyode, has stated that he hardly goes to Aso Rock for a visit in spite of his daughter’s position and the exalted office of her husband. In an interview with Punch, he said: "I don’t go there often. Going there is like going to jail, as far as I’m concerned. It’s like locking me up. The way you see me, do I look like someone that can be kept in one place? Before I could go out, I would have to sign papers and there would be plenty phone calls; I would just run mad because I wasn’t used to such. "I’m a free man. I cherish my freedom and I’m not used to having security aides around me. I love to be free. That place is a very good place but I’m not the type to live there, so I don’t go there often. "Anytime I go, I give them time, like telling them I was coming for two days. I don’t even live with them. Let us say we are in Abuja now, you possibly can’t visit me for this interview. They won’t allow you to come in, and if y...
