Ejiofor made the allegation on Arise TV Morning Show, stating the British government and the British High Commission in Nigeria has not done much to help its citizen. He noted that the High Commission has not paid the IPOB leader a visit since he was brought to Nigeria.

“But as at yesterday a British national was arrested and till date they have not visited him even when we have officially notified them of the situation. As at the time he was arrested, he was arrested as a British national because he had renounced his Nigerian citizenship over five years ago. And they are still talking about offering him consular services.”

He said the manner Kanu was abducted and the arrest of Sunday Igboho, Yoruba agitator were completely different.

“At the time he was arrested, his associates in Nairobi started looking for him.

They searched in all the Police stations and other law enforcement agencies and he was nowhere to be found. In the case of Sunday Igboho, he was arrested in Benin Republic and taken to custody and is being subjected to trial. His arrest was announced but in the case of my client he was detained in an illegal facility for eight days after which he was renditioned back to Nigeria.”
