UK Seeks Clarification About Kanu’s Whereabouts From FG

The United Kingdom asked the Federal Government to clarify the status and whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The British government said it had asked the government if the British national was alive or dead.

However, it could not be immediately ascertained if the Federal Government had responded to the inquiries or not.

Asked if the UK would strip Kanu of citizenship on account of the declaration by Nigeria that he was leading a terrorist organisation, the mission said it does not comment on individual cases.

When asked if the UK supported the Nigerian government’s proscription of the IPOB, Abuku stated that the group was not a proscribed organisation under the British law.

He also declined comment on whether the IPOB might be designated as a terrorist group or proscribed by the British authorities.
