In 1984, Nigeria’s kidnapping of Umaru Dikko in UK seriously damaged relations between Nigeria & UK. All the kidnappers were tried & jailed by UK Umaru Dikko was not a British citizen but a resident. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not a British dweller alone; he is a bonafide British citizen. That counts more. Nigeria’s abduction of Umaru Dikko brought these consequences: 17 men were arrested, 4 convicted & jailed for 6 to 8 years. Britain broke relations with Nigeria for 2 years. Nigeria’s later extradition request for Dikko was denied & Dikko remained free. It may be as a way of paying Britain back for denying the earlier extradition request that the DSS DG refused to allow nnaNna Kanu sign the extradition form. In this condition, legality permits that UK should come for immediate tranfer of MNK. But I fear that Britain willing not work. See the content of the image below,

Embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, on Friday assembled a team of lawyers to fight off his looming arrest and extradition by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States, which appears to be hell bent in returning with the alleged fraudulent officer. SaharaReporters learnt that Kyari is also lobbying the Nigeria Police Force starting with the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, and threatening to expose other top police officers who have benefitted from his largesse, should he be handed over to the FBI and extradited. SaharaReporters gathered that Kyari, whose links with serial internet fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, alias Hushpuppi, were becoming too evident to deny, warned that he would expose the “dirty jobs” he had done for past and present Inspector-Generals of Police as well as some political elites in the country, if they did nothing to stop his extradition. “There was a stormy meeting on Friday at the Inspector-General of Police’s office between th...

Security and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Senate Republicans are urging Security and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler to investigate an alleged bait and switch by the Chinese Communist Party. Seven Republican Senators urged  in a letter Wednesday for Gensler to investigate concerns the CCP coffered money from American investors after ordering its Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) to investigate a Chinese company shortly after its IPO filing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The senators cited the stock price plunged after Beijing-based ride-hailing company Didi Global had its IPO. "Immediately following the IPO, the CCP's cyber arm, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), opened an investigation into Didi claiming that the company violated Chinese privacy and national security laws,"  the Senators' letter  reads.

Elaine Luria, D-Va., speaks during the House select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 breach on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, July 27, 2021. (AP Photo/ Andrew Harnik, Pool) The conservative House Freedom Caucus wants Representatives Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) penalized for cozying up to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her January 6 commission. Members of the caucus gathered for a press conference Thursday to announce their effort to take the two lawmakers out of the House GOP conference. Congressman Bob Good (R-Va.) defended the removal by asserting they can no longer be trusted in private Republican meetings because they are not real Republicans. He said some have dubbed the two lawmakers as “Pelosi Republicans.” The congressman added, the GOP cannot work with elected officials who criticize their own party more than they do the Democrats.

(Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) The Delta variant has caused a spike in COVID-19 cases across the U.S. In response, Joe Biden announced new initiatives on Thursday in an effort to get more Americans vaccinated. The Democrat has urged states to utilize pandemic funds to give $100 to anyone who receives the vaccine. He also controversially stated that federal employees would need to get vaccinated or face repeated COVID tests. “Every federal government employee will be asked to attest to their vaccination status,” said Biden. “Anyone who does not attest or is not vaccinated, will be required to wear a mask no matter where they work, test one or two times a week to see if they have acquired COVID, socially distance and generally will not be allowed to travel for work.” The Delta variant is different than what we’ve dealt with previously. It’s highly trans...
