yarimo:
One only achievement as governor for 8 years is building brewery

Defender i hope you have eaten today and not defending on empty stomach.

helinues:
Their failure is inevitable

It's just so funny how the opposition supporters have been shouting competency as part of the requirements to be a Nigeria president yet none of their leaders have such qualities, not even closed to president Tinubu.

Should will replace partial competency with incompetency?

Is it Atiku that his son just defected to Apc or Peter Obi who is now like an Orphan in the ADC refugee camp.

Imagine the opposition leaders having entirely different ideologies about politics and religion

Nobody in your lineage dead or alive have or will attain all of the positions He has attained. Dumbass Bot.

yarimo:
ameachi said it by himself just to fool his unfortunate ADC supporters, that he is hungry. So he shall be hungry forever. Well said Comrade oshiomhole

mascot87:
Regardless the stigma is also on you as a Nigerian.

Did the white man like you claim lie? With all that is happening in Nigeria isn't worth calling a DISGRACED COUNTRY Keep lying to yourself

mascot87:
A white man called your country a disgraced country and you are acknowledging it just because you hate the president. Hope you know the stigma is also on you and you carry it anywhere you go in the world.

Imagine what you came up with as defense....for 15k some of una dey lose una sense of reasoning...

Ttalk:
Why your Atiku and El Rufai prioritize defending terrorist over justice.

Why did Atiku depleted post on Deborah gruesome murder?

Justice to Deborah, Atiku is complicit

Ain't you old enough to till be doing tribal rubbish?

buygala:
All this hate on Wike because he identifies as Ikwerre and not Ibo


This is why non of you will ever rule this Country

You people are quick to play tribal games... wetin bring tribe come this matter now shameless adults.

Munamu:
I condemned the mode of approach of Wike towards the officer. But let us be sincere with ourselves, if the narrative were different, such respond would not have emanated from the young officer.
it still reflect the frustration of the north that a southerner is appointed the FCT helmsman. Look at the way they supported the officer. If it were the other way round, the southern soldier would have been in the guardroom and protest erupted from Arewa.
People from Southern Nigeria are objective and not myopic in decision making. In all, I blame Tinibu for not finding a worthy person from the south to be made the FCT minister other than Wike.

And yet they have serving officers as aide even after retiring.... Una go just open mouth dey talk nonsense with boldness....Do you know what the rank of a Vice admiral is in the Nigeria navy or any navy in the world?

Jorussia:
A retired military officer doesn't have any authority to issue directive to serving military personnel.

Nairaland BOT

yarimo:
Zubairu gambo the former naval Chief you are not above the law, you are a disgrace to Navy

They will frustrate him indeed is like you have no idea who sent him there....as long as that officer is concerned Wike that you worship is a nobody.who went back at the end of the day Who displayed maturity Between the officer and your Lord Wike??

RaptorX:
In the US who born soldier to disrespect a police officer, na handcuffs straight. It is only in Nigeria that soldiers think they are superior to police in a democracy like that naval officer in the earlier video saying I am talking police is also talking lol. I like the way Wike tongue lash him and call him a fool to his face, I thought they don't tolerate disrespect from bloody civilians, why was he saying I am not a fool sir while Wike was berating him, even the DSS and police attached to Wike pushed them around and they couldn't do jack.

Probably a Luitenanant or Captain that guy in the earlier video talking back rudely to Wike, probably the second most powerful man in Nigeria, that guy should kiss his military career goodbye, because they will frustrate him out. Instead of him to salute and tell his soldiers to stand down, his body language was who is this bloody civilian talking to, I pity him he will learn the hard way, that uniform must have gotten into his head

You see this APC online boys this period una go work very hard for that 30k way una dey receive

Here’s a breakdown of how he got to Nigeria:

### 1. The Escape from the UK
First, it's important to set the stage. Mike Arnold was a British drug trafficker who was arrested in 1996 and sentenced to 16 years in prison. In 1999, while being held at a low-security prison in Suffolk, England, he simply walked out during a recreational period and escaped.

### 2. The Illicit Flight to Nigeria
After his escape, Arnold needed to get out of the UK and to a country that did not have an extradition treaty with Britain. Nigeria was such a country at the time.

According to his own accounts and court records, Arnold's journey involved:

* **A Privately Chartered Plane:** He did not fly on a commercial airline, where he would have had to show a passport. Instead, he and an accomplice (his cellmate who had been released) chartered a small private aircraft.
* **Departure from a Small Airfield:** They flew from a small, regional airfield in the UK, where security was much more lax compared to a major international airport like Heathrow or Gatwick. This allowed them to bypass standard passport controls.
* **Direct Flight to Nigeria:** The chartered plane flew directly to Nigeria, landing at an airport where he could enter the country with relative ease, likely by using a forged passport or by bribing officials.

In his own words from a 2002 interview, Arnold stated: *"We chartered a plane from a small airfield in the UK and flew to Nigeria. It was surprisingly easy."*

### Summary: The "How"

So, to answer your question directly: **Mike Arnold got to Nigeria by chartering a private plane and flying illicitly from a small UK airfield, bypassing all official immigration controls.**

### What Happened Next?
His time in Nigeria was short-lived and dramatic:
* He was arrested in Lagos a few months later in a dramatic shootout with Nigerian police.
* He was tried and convicted in Nigeria for immigration offenses and illegal possession of firearms, receiving a five-year prison sentence.
* After serving his sentence in Nigeria, he was eventually extradited back to the UK in 2006 to serve the remainder of his original drug trafficking sentence.

His entire escape and journey to Nigeria is a classic example of a fugitive using wealth, connections, and audacity to exploit weaknesses in international travel security.
