A Conservative minister has said that British consular officials will
visit Nnamdi Kanu Radio Biafra director and the leader of indigenous
people of Biafra, whose arrest in October has led to protests in various
part of the world including Abuja Nigeria capital, after a question
from the joint Nigerian-British activist's constituency MP, Harriet
Harman.
James Duddridge, Minister for Africa and the Caribbean, confirmed that
Kanu, who is the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had
been visited in Nigeria by members of the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office but Nnamdi Kanu said he did not ask for British consular's
assistance. Nnamdi Kanu was arrested by the Nigeria state service (DSS)
on charges of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to an
unlawful society. He pleaded not guilty in all charges. The case has
been adjoined on 1st of December 2015.
