Biafra: Federal govt lied, Nnamdi Kanu not arrested in the UK – Reno Omokri

Former Presidential aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri, said that contrary to the Federal Government’s claim that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was arrested in the United Kingdom, a British government source has confirmed to him that the claim is false.

IDOMA VOICE reports that the Federal Government on Tuesday disclosed that it has rearrested wanted leader of proscribed secessionist group, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

According to Reno, the top British source said Nnamdi Kanu’s detention is illegal.

He insisted that the UK is a civilized nation that is governed by the rule of law adding that no one, no matter how wanted, can be extradited without extradition hearings before a court, especially when that person is a British citizen.

The ex-presidential aide claimed the top British source told him that Kanu was “almost definitely arrested in Kenya”.

He however failed to reveal the name of his source.

Reno wrote; “I just spoke with a top UK government source. Nnamdi Kanu was NOT arrested or extradited by the British. According to this official, Kanu was “almost definitely arrested in KENYA” and “it was an illegal detention”. I won’t reveal my source, but I have him on record.

For those who do not know how these things operate, the United Kingdom is a civilised nation that is governed by the Rule of Law. No one, no matter how wanted, can be arrested and extradited without extradition hearings before a court, especially when that person is a British citizen.

There are Nigerians who are currently fighting their extradition to Nigeria in court in the UK. They cannot leave the UK on their own volition or on the request of the Nigerian government until their hearings are exhausted. If they lose at the court of first instance, they have a right of appeal.

I repeat, Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested or extradited by the British government.

Also, it is a lie that he boarded a plane and came to Nigeria by himself. That is just propaganda.
