The reasons why the British government is unable to free Nnamdi Kanu from Nigerian custody have been revealed.

NG Times Online News can reliably report that the British government is unable to free IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu from imprisonment or prison.

Kanu is also a British citizen, as you may recall. Kanu was caught by Nigerian officials in an East African country on Wednesday, according to POLITICS NIGERIA. He was quickly extradited to Nigeria.

When asked about the issue and the “Consular Assistance” that can be provided to Kanu, Dan Hurlock, a spokesperson for the British High Commission in Abuja, referred to a booklet titled “Support for British Nationals in Nigeria.”

The book details guidelines on British Government support to nationals in other countries. The book states;

“We can offer you information about the local prison or remand system, including visiting arrangements, mail and censorship, privileges, work possibilities, and social and welfare services. We can also explain where there are different regulations for remand prisoners and sentenced prisoners. For example, in some countries, prisoners are allowed to send more mail when they are on remand.”

“We cannot get you out of prison or detention, nor can we get special treatment for you because you are British. If however you are not treated in line with internationally accepted standards we will consider approaching local authorities. This may include if your trial does not follow internationally recognised standards for a fair trial or is unreasonably delayed compared to local cases.”

“With your permission, we can consider taking up a complaint about ill-treatment, personal safety, or discrimination with the police or prison authorities.”

“Consular staff will keep in regular contact with you, either by visiting personally or by telephone/letter. The frequency of visits will depend on local prison conditions and your personal circumstances.”

“If you are a dual British national in the country of your other nationality (for example, a dual Nigerian-British national in Nigeria), we would NOT normally offer you support or get involved in dealings between you and the authorities of that state. We may make an exception to this rule if, having looked at the circumstances of the case, we consider that you are vulnerable and we have humanitarian concerns.”

Every government has its laws.
No government can interfere in another country's law.
The best they can do is to offer legal assistance and ensure fair and accelerated trial.

hmmm

It's actually going to be complicated. I wasn't expecting a smooth sailing for MNK. It would have been allot easier had he renounced his Nigerian citizenship.

Let's see how things unfolds in the coming weeks. Naija is going through a state sponsored war against her own people.
