The British High Commission says it is “in the process of seeking clarification” from the federal government regarding the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Dean Hurlock, a spokesperson of the British High Commission, disclosed this in a message sent to TheCable on Wednesday.

Kanu, who is also a British citizen, was arrested on Sunday and extradited to Nigeria to face trial for alleged treason.

Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF), said on Tuesday that the IPOB leader was “intercepted through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence and Security Services.”

He did not state where the separatist leader was arrested, but TheCable learnt that Kanu, who is based in the UK, was lured to an African country with a promise of cash donations and was then picked up.

In the message shared with TheCable, Hurlock said the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office “stands ready to provide consular assistance”.

Mysticwebb:
Britain should respect themselves, after all he even insulted them also. They should mind their business. I believe their response made Interpol to also deny involvement in his arrest.

ALTERNATEID:
Believe this junk and I have a bridge to sell to you. The UK government knew Kanu would be arrested. They provided the intel to the FG when he left UK. About time you Igbos realize that you’ve got no international support.

mrvitalis:
The only thing this means is kanu can't be denied bail when granted like others

mrvitalis:

So why are you crying na ...clean your eyes bro take heart

vicdom:

Buhari Government might be forced to release him. You labelled someone and his group terrorists, and the international community is yet to find any form of terror in his activities, that's why you resorted to illegal means of repatriation. Why didn't the government go through the legitimate means and repatriate him?? Mad people everywhere. Ohamidike is a cat with nine lives, he will sure come out unscathed.
