And in retaliation of the British foiling the abduction of Umaru Dikko by middle eastern mercenaries hired by Buhari military junta, the Nigerian authorities will breach international laws by seizing a British Caledonian flight scheduled to depart to London at the Murtarla Mohammed airport .
LONDON -- Nigeria Friday detained a British jumbo jet and suspended all flights to Britain after British police rescued a former Nigerian Cabinet minister who was found drugged and unconscious in a crate about to be flown to Lagos.
Nigeria denied it was reponsible for the bizarre kidnap attempt despite the fact the crate was addressed to the foreign minister in Lagos, the Nigerian capital. The Nigerian ambassador to London said 'patriotic friends' of the country were behind the plot.
Police said 17 people were held for questioning in the kidnapping Thursday of Umaru Dikko, millionaire transport minister in Nigeria's civilian government who fled his homeland after a military coup Dec. 31. Eight of those detained were released late Friday.
Dikko, brother-in-law of deposed President Shehu Shagari, was reported 'semi-conscious' but in satisfactory condition at a London hospital and was under police guard.
In Nigeria, a former British colony in West Africa, authorities ordered a London-bound British Caledonian Boeing 747 jumbo jet to return to Lagos shortly after it had taken off late Thursday.
The 220 passengers, including four infants, were detained at the airport for 16 hours but were freed Friday and given permission to leave the airport. The plane and its crew, however, were still being held.
Nigeria Airways later announced it had suspended all flights to Britain. British Airways does not fly to Lagos but British Caledonian, an independent carrier, said it was doubtful it would renew flights unless its plane was released.
The Nigerian government said it had detained the flight in response to the British detention of the Nigerian plane in London.
Dikko, who has vowed to overthrow the Nigerian military government and is wanted in Lagos on corruption charges, was abducted Thursday from his London home and found drugged and unconscious in a crate marked 'diplomatic luggage.'
The crate was one of two which had been loaded onto a Nigeria Airways 707 plane at Stansted Airport, 30 miles east of London.
'Two men were found in each crate,' British Home Secretary Leon Brittan said Friday. 'One crate contained Mr. Dikko, who was unconscious and another man who was conscious and in possession of drugs and syringes. The other crate contained two men, both conscious.'
Brittan said the crate was addressed to the Nigerian Foreign Ministry in Lagos but said he would not 'jump to the conclusion' that the Nigerian government was responsible.
Spokesmen for the Nigerian government denied it was connected to the plot.
'We wanted Dikko badly, but I can categorically say that neither the High Commission (the embassy) or the government in Lagos had any hand in this kidnap,' said Nigeria's London spokesman Moses Ekpo.
Nigerian Ambassador Gen. H.A. Hananiya told British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe that 'some patriotic friends of Nigeria' were behind the plot.
Commander William Hucklesby of London's anti-terrorist squad said the 17 people detained included an Israeli, a Tunisian, a Jamaican, a Cypriot, nine Nigerians, a Ghanian, and three Britons, including one woman. One of the Nigerians claimed to be connected to the Nigerian Embassy.
Brittan told the House of Commons that Britain had asked Lagos to drop claims of diplomatic immunity if any of those implicated were diplomats but there was no immediate response.
The main objectives of the plotters were to eliminate the current military leadership, break up the Nigerian army and replace it with a new corps of officers and men, under British supervision, the New Nigerian said.
No be today we begin see zombies or else why will Tunde Idiagbon make such a stupid statement and expect anybody to believe this rubbish?
LAGOS, Nigeria -- Exiled politicians ousted in a recent coup are recruiting mercenaries in the United States and Europe to invade Nigeria and overthrow the military government, Nigerian newspapers reported Sunday.
The state-owned New Nigerian said $300 million had been contributed for the invasion by politicians of the banned National Party of Nigeria who are now living in various European capitals and the United States.
The independent newspaper Guardian attributed the invasion story to army chief of staff Brigadier Tunde Idiagbon and said he told Nigerian editors Wednesday the government was capable of repulsing any invasion.
Tight security has been mounted in key buildings in Lagos and in several big towns in the last few days. Soldiers are guarding offices and police are checking motorists.
The Guardian and the New Nigerian said the exiled politicians were recruiting mercenaries in the United States, Britain and France for the invasion.
The New Nigerian, quoting a high-level source in the military government, said the plot involved destroying petroleum depots and refineries in the northern city of Kaduna.
The main objectives of the plotters were to eliminate the current military leadership, break up the Nigerian army and replace it with a new corps of officers and men, under British supervision, the New Nigerian said.
A group of senior officers under the leadership of Maj. Gen. Mohammad Buhari overthrew the four-year civilian government of president Shehu Shagari in a coup Dec. 31.
The military takeover received widespread support from Nigerians disappointed at the democratically-elected government's inability to halt rampant corruption and economic chaos in the oil-rich African nation.
The New Nigerian said the invasion plan is being spearheaded by Umaru Dikko, the former transport minister, Joseph Wayas, a former senate president, Adisa Akinloye, the former NPN chairman, and Bello Maitama Yesuf, a one-time commerce minister.
Several politicians who fled in the wake of the New Year's Eve coup are wanted by the military government. They allegedly have millions of dollars secreted in overseas banks abroad and there have been previous reports they might be plotting a return to power.
The newspaper said Dikko was coordinating the invasion plan and a series of meetings had been held in London to discuss logistics.
A South African mercenary and a retired British army officer had been contacted by the fugitives to recruit mercenaries, the paper said. A Liberian exile in Britain is reportedly the contact between Akinloye and the mercenaries.
Nigeria had not established evidence linking Britain in the plot and has not made any official protest to the government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the newspaper said.
VulgarVulvas: How Buhari emptied Nigeria's treasury in one month after toppling Shagari
Nigeria's monthly cumulative external reserves dipped significantly in December, 1983 and January 1984 on the heels of Buhari's successive coup toppling the democratically elected civilian govt of Shagari.
obiageIi: Most importantly there was no money to pay the debts and the airline had suffered gross mismanagement over the years. It is wrong to blame buhari for the demise.
Rubbish!
Buhari and his fellow conspirators looted CBN vaults as they staged their coup.
As the mutineers headed to state house, Marina to arrest Shagari another group headed to the CBN to make huge transfers of Nigeria's foreign reserves.
The money was meant to serve as a retirement slush fund incase the coup failed and also to pay off western lobby groups to help solicit support for their illegal overthrowing of a democratically elected civilian govt.
If you doubt this then check out the sharp decline of Nigeria's forex reserves between 1983 December and January 1984!
obiageIi: No problem but the decent thing to do is to change the image you painted on the first page of buhari destroying the nigeria airways with 33 "fantastic" planes to 6 in 22 months.
Most of the aircrafts in the Nigerian Airways were seized abroad over huge debts owed by the airline.
Buhari refused to pay the debt and most of the aircraft were auctioned by foreign countries to recoup their money being owed by the airliner
All because of doing ashewoe work for Italy these lazy things dared to cross the Sahara to go to war ravaged Libya enroute to Italy.
I have worked and lived in Benin city and I can tell you the average Bini youth is not ready to further their education or get a job or even learn a trade.
No amount of incentives and job creation schemes will work in Benin city as these people are bent to sell themselves into slavery.
Karma is truly a Nigerian as it is recorded in the anals of Bini history that the oba barred any Bini citizen to sold into slavery but Bini remained one of the major beneficiaries of the Atlantic slave trade.
Today the Bini man and woman are selling themselves into slavery.
Well this just goes to reinforce my beliefs that Nairaland has since been compromised.
If mynd44 chooses to play the ostrich at least sarrki (the zombie patriot) and Omenkalives (the zombie Lord) should come and defend their paymaster at BMC.
JacksonD7: I pray it doesn't get to that stage cause if it does I'm packing my bags and moving to Cape Verde or some other Atlantic island.
The south (especially the SS/SE) has all it takes to be a vibrant prosperous and peaceful nation.
Instead of running away from our country we need to consider seriously taking back our destinies from these parasites from the north by seeking a separate state.

AMCON is used by northerners to destroy southern business.
