British government through her high commision has disowned the owner of Radio Biafra Mr Nnamdi Kanu who they acknowledged as British citizen of dual citizenship. Campaigners for Biafra have been staging protests over the arrest and detention of Radio Biafra host, Nnamdi Kanu by the authorities in Abuja. Kanu is a dual citizen of both the UK and Nigeria. Commenting on his detention, Abuku said the UK High Commission has a standing position stating thus: “The British government only provides consular assistance to dual nationals in the country of their other nationality in excep¬tional circumstances.
“If the High Commission is approached for consular as¬sistance by a British National in Nigeria who also holds a Nigerian passport, the level of support that could be offered in their case would be discussed with the individual concerned.”

Meanwhile, agency reports said the expressed position of the British High commission tallies with a widely-circulated letter written by UK Minister of State, Grant Shapps, affirm¬ing a similar position concern¬ing Biafra agitation. That letter was written in response to MP Micheal Meacher, follow¬ing an inquiry by one of Mr. Meacher’s constituents who had written to inquire about the detention of Radio Biafra host, Nnamdi Kanu.

Mr. Shapps wrote the letter to an MP, Micheal Meacher, in response to an inquiry by one of Mr. Meacher’s constituents who had written to inquire about the detention of Kanu. “We are not aware of any in¬stitutionalized persecution of any people by the Nigerian au¬thorities,” he declared. “The position of the British Govern¬ment during the Biafran War is a matter of historical record,” he recalled. “Our position, which reflected the Charter of the Organization of African Unity, was to recognise the borders laid down at Indepen¬dence. There is no question that the Biafran War caused great suffering and the UK sup¬ported the reconciliation work that followed the conflict and continues to support efforts to reduce violence in Nigeria to¬day.”

According to Mr. Shapps, “The UK fully supports the territorial integrity of Nigeria and President Buhari’s com¬mitment to work for a secure and prosperous Nigeria for all Nigerians. We share the con¬cern of President Buhari and all Nigerians about threats to Nigeria’s stability and are working with Nigeria to help tackle these threats, including Boko Haram. Reports quoted Abuku as saying he could not confirm the authenticity of the Hon. Grant Shapps letter as it is not their practice to confirm or deny the authenticity of leaked documents..

Why do you think it can't be real? It's actually a post from a pro-Biafra website, and the logic behind it is understandable.

Having dual citizenship has its benefits, but one is subject to the laws in both countries. There is little the British can do, because he is also a Nigerian - at least for now while the struggle for Biafra is in still in process.

Ok o

Den no go hear word now until dey go for another set of grass eating competition

They created the monster called Nigeria,so it it shouldn't be a surprise if they don't give Biafra's agitation a seal of approval.

What the people wants must prevail. Their fundamental human rights and their choices of what they want to make of their lives must prevail. It is unstoppable.

Why should a people be compelled to suffer in an irrational union when they have a choice of going it alone? Is it oil? Ocean? Or coal?

Britain is incosequential in the resolved pursuit of the Emancipation of IPOB all over the World. Britain ruled the Sea but currently waving the Sea as her economy cannot withstand even a Civil unrest Let alone satelite wars.
