THE United Kingdom has ruled out a blanket ban on members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra who apply for asylum. Rather, the UK says all applications will be considered on their individual merit.

The Head of Communications, British High Commission in Nigeria, Mr. Dean Hurlock, made the clarification during a chat with The PUNCH.

The UK Visas and Immigration had last month released new guidelines to its decision makers on how to consider and grant asylum applications by members of Biafran secessionist groups.

However, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the move was disrespectful to Nigeria because IPOB had been proscribed by the Federal Government.

The UK subsequently took down the guidelines and promised to update it soon.

In a chat with The PUNCH on whether IPOB still qualified, Hurlock said applications by all Nigerian nationals would be treated on their individual merit.

He said, “This latest guidance is currently under review and has no longer been made available on our UK Government GOV.UK websiteAll asylum and human rights claims from Nigeria nationals, as is the case with all foreign nationals, are carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with our international obligations.

“We publish reports in this way so it is clearer and fairer for all involved (applicants, their lawyers, judges, stakeholders such as the UNHCR). All UK asylum decisions can be appealed in the immigration courts, which are public.”

When asked if IPOB members would be given asylum if they qualify, he responded, “Every case is assessed on its own merit. If that guidance had never existed, we should still expect to consider a well meaning application fairly and follow due process.”

Attempts to get from the Federal Government proved abortive as the telephone line of the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ferdinand Nwoye, indicated that it was switched off while the Minister of Informational, Lai Mohammed, did not respond to an inquiry on Sunday.

The two countries have different rules for crying out loud. The law of UK is ment for everyone while the law of the zoo is made for the poor,so therefore if una like circulate that the whole world has ban social media,that doesn't stop the fact that APC FG including the supporters are terrorist!

Online bandits I'm tweeting from Nigeria without VPN lmao

The US knows what to do.


Twitter was ban because IPOB is using it to tag world powers about the atrocities of nigeria government and still twitter are still in use in Nigeria by the same IPOB to continue their struggle... IPOB is always ahead of the zoo..

He had threatened punishment for regional secessionists blamed for attacks on government buildings.

Facebook has now removed the post from their platform, as a quick check by LailasNews confirmed, as the whole statement, has been removed from the social media platform.

This is coming after we had earlier reported that the content remained on their platform, despite users reporting it.In response to LailasNews, Facebook wrote that President Buhari’s post has been removed from their platform in line with their global policies.

The social media giants also went on to state that they removed a post from President Buhari’s Facebook page for violating our Community Standards against inciting violence.

Reiterating commitment to remove any content, from individuals or organisations that violates Facebook policies.

“In line with our global policies, we’ve removed a post from President Buhari’s Facebook page for violating our Community Standards against inciting violence. We remove any content, from individuals or organisations that violates our policies on Facebook.” A Facebook Spokesperson
Twitter also deleted Buhari’s tweet where he issued a threat to deal with “misbehaving” elements in “the language they understand”, while making reference to Nigeria’s civil war.

While defending its action, the tech company said the President’s tweet violated its rules.

I used a new moniker to post this to avoid being his next victim.
even though I'm not on his death list but the rate this jobless dude derail innocent threads is alarming.
the mods are trying but it seems it's not helping matters either because one minute you see his cancelled comments the other minute a heap of deleted comments from the mods making the thread more disgusting and isolated.
please Seun many Nairalanders are victim of this notorious guy, you're the only one capable of saving us.
please don't abandon us
your mods cannot do pass what they're already doing but we need permanent solution to this menace.
i hope our cry reaches your ears.
thanks.
