The United Kingdom (UK) has said that it will grant asylum to anybody in need of it as claims are considered on their individual merits in line with international standards.
The British Government said it had a rich history of providing protection to those in need of it. The UK Visas and Immigration had released fresh guidelines to its decision makers on how to consider and grant asylum applications to IPOB members whose founder, Nnamdi Kanu, is now based in London.
Kanu, who holds both Nigerian and British passports, escaped from Nigeria in 2018 after troops invaded his country home while he was facing trial on treasonable felony charges for criminal conspiracy, intimidation and membership of a proscribed organisation.
In the guidelines titled, ‘Country Policy and Information Note Nigeria: Biafran secessionist groups,’ released in March, the UKVI, a division of the Home Office, directed its decision makers to consider if a person “who actively and openly supports IPOB is likely to be at risk of arrest and detention, and ill-treatment which is likely to amount to persecution.’’
“Those fleeing prosecution or punishment for a criminal offence are not normally refugees. Prosecution may, however, amount to persecution if it involves victimisation in its application by the authorities,’’ the 56-page document said.
The Minister for Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed however criticized the UK’s position as being supportive of domestic terrorism.

He don be for the government of extremists. Shameful indeed! But does it matter to them? No!

Woow

My mind is telling me that its Buhari's government that is secretly behind this asylum thing to make the youths travel in droves and abandon the struggle.

Nigerian youths will not leave Nigeria to the mercy of Buhari and his canals to finish,we must stay and continue this push till we actualize our desires,Oduduwa and Biafra republics.

The Nigerian government have become a nuisance in the international community, they protect terrorist and edge out and kill freedom seeker

Heheheh

That is The SPIRIT.

Well done U.K.

MACBAN is in a MESS

I don't think I trust this British government, there must be something behind this move.
Something that may not even be for the good of IPOB or Biafra realization as the Easterners want.
Let me wait for more reliable sources.

That's ODUDUWA SPIRIT AND IT'S MAJESTIC. EVERYTHING WORKS WELL FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO TRUST OLODUMARE

We pray it all works out for the general good of all persons affected by this new policy.

Something this govt fails to understand, the world we live in now is a global village. You commit any human violation the next thing it is all over the market square (Internet) all those littered pics and videos of security agencies clashing with armless protesters or agitators in different part of the country has been drawing attention but then some people are so myopic they think this international big boys will just weigh into the conversation pronto. No they've been observing and they know about and everything going on in the country of which they don't even trust the govt of the day.

Back to the shameless and extremely shameful govt seeking explanation or arewa boys scout issuing statement I was marveled lol cos they don't even know who and what this international countries can do to a country unannounced.. They will create an unofficial unrest in Nigeria and they will come in settle the scores using UN to do what or make whatsoever decisions they wanna make against the govt. The truth is Britain seem to be done with Nigeria. The most priced asset(oil) they've been milking from Nigeria for years seems to be fading away and not of so much importance no more in the market, technology is really evolving, people are talking about flying cars now and solar vehicles so Nigeria is technically useless as it stands and the UK is very much not disturb if the country disintegrate.

My prayer is let the fulani led govt prove stubborn and get sympathy from irag and Iran lol then you will all understand what it means to fight forces you ain't seeing and watch Nigeria cease to exist. I prefer Nigeria divide peacefully but then I doubt that is feasible with the crop of politicians we got reason why I employ all tribes and region start preparing for the unknown as it seem the fulaniz will want to take some souls together with them by the time they realize the country can't hold no more by the help of there brother in power. Every region create a militia, very harden one not any created by govt. Support one mad man in your region just like the love for kanu in the east is unimaginable every region at this point needs one kanu else Mehn this govt will waste loads of them youths life's when they see all have been lost... The only region that seem ready is the old Eastern region doubled as the Republic of Biafra.. The reason for such awakeness for war seem like the history of the Easterner fighting in different wars all through them history can be a good advantage to them at this point they seem not even disturb or afraid to die.. Let every region emulate. this is not a time to fight one another. Put heads together and defeat one common enemy and set yourself off the shackles of bondage.

YORUBA NATION IS BORN AGAIN AND WISE

The UK government is very smart... They can already see that the Biafra separation is most likely going to happen so they are trying to get in the good books of the new country just in case it happens.
Think of it, when has the British ever been known for their generousity?
The Brits will never grant you a favor that they will never be able to benefit from.

Ok
