Reno Omokri says contrary to reports, the rearrested leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, was no arrested or extradited by the British government. Reno said he spoke with a top UK government source who confirmed to him that the British government was not involved in Kanu’s arrest or extradition.
Reno said the British official claimed Kanu was ”almost definitely arrested in Kenya”. Read what he wrote below
”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.”
Meanwhile, the British High Commission has confirmed the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Recall that Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami who announced the IPOB leader’s arrest yesterday June 29, did not reveal how or where Nnamdi Kanu was arrested.
Dean Hurlock, spokesperson of the British High Commission who confirmed Kanu’s arrest while speaking to TheCable, said he was not picked up in the UK where he is based.
