Hearing this news about Nnamdi Kanu arrest reminds me of another popular Buhari arrest... During Buhari's military reign there was an international scandal called Umaru Dikko __________________ Dikko was an influential Transport Minister in the civilian administration of President Shehu Shagari, his brother-in-law. In 1983, the Nigerian government was overthrown in a military coup led by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, and a new military government led by Buhari was established. On his second day in power, Buhari issued a list of former government officials accused of a variety of crimes. Dikko, who topped the list, was accused of embezzling several billion US dollars (sources claim that the amount was around 6 billion US dollars) in oil profits from the national treasury. Dikko fled to Britain, settled in London, and became a vocal critic of the regime in exile. - Wikipedia Buhari eventually ordered soldiers to travel to Britain and with the help of Israel managed to abduct Dikko and place him inside a coffin with the intent of smuggling him back to Nigeria the plan was foiled at the airport... Does history repeat itself? Now we see something similar with Nnamdi Kanu a critic of Buhari, flees to London and believes he's safe the only real difference is that Buhari succeeded in this case. How would this one end? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikko_affair 1 Share
