RE: UK govt meets FG over Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest, pledges to assist IPOB leader - Edoman - 07-01-2021 We cannot get you out of prison - British authorities dash Nnamdi Kanu's hope The British authorities has dashed hope of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) regaining freedom. Kingsley Kanu, the IPOB leader’s sibling who had revealed that he was arrested in Kenya had appealed to British authorities to ensure his brother's release. Kingsley said; Quote:“The British High Commission in Nigeria must insist upon my brother’s immediate release. They must guarantee his safety and security. Nnamdi Kanu must be returned home to the UK to his wife and his sons who live here. The Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, must make clear to the Nigerian authorities that they will not tolerate the unlawful detention of British citizens and that the UK Government condemns the Nigerians and Kenyans for undermining the rule of law." However a manual titled ‘Support for British nationals abroad: A guide’ and published on the website of the UK government, it was clearly stated that British authorities can't get anyone out of prison or detention because of their nationality. It was however stated that they can approach local authorities if the British national is not treated in internationally accepted standards. 19th page of the document read; Quote:“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. |
