The United Kingdom has said that it has not given up on its efforts to extradite former Bayelsa State governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, back to Britain to face trial, the Sun Newspaper is reporting today.
The UK said it had already contacted the Federal Government requesting Mr. Alamieyeseigha’s extradition, and was awaiting a response to the request.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Andrew Pocock, told the paper in an exclusive interview that the former governor, who recently got state pardon from his criminal conviction in Nigeria, still has an outstanding case of money laundering to answer to in the UK and that the UK government will not give up until Mr. Alamieyeseigha is brought to justice.
Mr. Alamieyeseigha, then a serving governor, made a dramatic escape from the custody of the British authorities when he fled back to Nigeria from detention in September 2005. He would later be convicted on similar money laundering charges on July 26, 2007 in Nigeria after he was impeached as governor.
Although his recent state pardon by President Goodluck Jonathan hit the UK authorities as a rude shock, Mr. Pocock dismissed insinuations that London was planning to sanction Nigeria over the matter. According to him, “that is not the way we do things”.
The High Commissioner also revealed that UK had earlier requested for Alamieyeseigha’s extradition, but did not get any response.
Mr. Pocock said the UK had asked the Attorney General and Minister for Justice for Alamieyeseigha’s extradition and was still awaiting his position on the issue when President Goodluck Jonathan all of a sudden announced he has been extricated of all wrong doing via the state clemency.
The move to pardon him even when the application for his extradition to Britain was still pending was like daring the applying nation that feels strongly that Alamieyeseigha has a case to answer in their country.
According to Mr. Pocock, “The former governor skipped bail in the UK on a charge of money laundering and returned to Nigeria. So, he has an outstanding charge in the UK, which is there for him to answer.
“We have already discussed it and the Nigerian government knows our views. But we would like to see him return and answer charge in the UK.”
On UK’s past and present efforts to see that Alamieyeseigha is extradited to the UK, Mr. Pocock said: “Yes. I think we asked in the past. I am very sure we asked in the past. But I am not sure we got a formal response. So, we are still waiting for a formal response from the Nigerian government.
“We have asked the Attorney General. He will have to tell us what his position is on extradition. I haven’t had a reply yet, but we still wait for it,” the British envoy added.

In the last few years , both the UK and US have extradited their citizens to be charged for crimes in or against those nations, the citizens themselves have a right to legal process to dispute the extradition which the court has a right to grant or reject.

Maybe if you follow International politics you would know better. It has nothing to so with national sovereignty but to do with international law, treaties and agreements.

Mr Alameiseya was charged to court in the UK and under disguise jumped bail and came to seek refuge under a corrupt government in Nigeria getting a lesser charge and punishment and eventually a pardon to contest for senate. Even if the earlier money laundering case is struck off as already resolved in Nigeria the charge of obstruction of justice, and leaving the country without prior notification of the courts and thereby illegally to prevent justice can be layed against him and getting a charge to stick wouldn't be a problem.

countries only extradite to other countries which they have agreements ( such agreement should be cancelled in Nigeria), and most times the extradition is done if such person isn't a citizen of that country i.e if he commits a crime in one country and runs to another where he has no citizenship, the country he runs to can decide to extradite him to the country he committed the crime. Brazil for instance don't extradite anyone within its borders whether citizen or not.

countries should take responsibility of court matters relating to its citizens.

can u give an example where the u.k or u.s extradited "its citizens" to one another.

Stop spewing jargon, the extradition is part of international agreements and I see no reaon why Nigeria should wave it's right to engage the agreement.

It is not the duty of the nation to provide such criminal or deny the extradition as such but rather the ministry of justice has a duty to facilitate the extradition.

Where an application to extradite is received the individual has a right to defend his right agaibt extradition in a court of law ,the grant is based on the concept the individual would get a fair trial and the prison conditions. In the previous GEJ administration individuals were shielded by executive order which is wrong.

So far in the last 3 years many Americans have been extradited , UK, a few Australians I know of, many Pakistani , I know ogw two Chinese . Stop trying to defend corruption

Yes the judiciary needs to be strengthened but that that is not a reason why us should support corruption.. alameiseigha is entitled to a lawyer just like buruji kashamu.there are international laws in place. And Nigeria is a member of lots of international organizations bothering on justice and money laundering. If Nigerian courts says ni to his extradition, Nigeria is a democratic country so there is nothing the government can do. Alamco should get a lawyer.

In many cases both American and UK citizens have and will be extradited if a crime is committed by them abroad and there is coincidence that said individuals would get a fair trial

There this bunch are a UK org who help defend British citizens from extradition, fewer Americans get extradited due to their legal process rather than a will of the state not to extradite, they would essentially have to be found guilty of the crime under US laws and process to be extradited( the merit of the case is reviewed) most other nations review the merit of the extradition request and less the case , given a fait trial and acceptable incarceration if found guilty is present

I would even be more than happy if they come to rule us DIRECTLY and not even by proxy. What exactly is our story of ruling ourselves if not for pain and despair?

South Africa in which many of our people run to is very well developed because they were ruled till 1990; I only can't help but imagine how wonderful Nigeria would have been if the British ruled us till 1990.
