The United Kingdom has asked the Federal Government to clarify the status and whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

The British government said it had asked the government if the British national was alive or dead. However, it could not be immediately ascertained if the Federal Government had responded to the inquiries or not.

The Press Officer, UK high commission in Nigeria, Joe Abuku, stated that the inquiry followed reports that Kanu had been missing since September 14, 2017 when armed soldiers stormed his residence in Abia State.

Abuku said this in response to questions from Saturday PUNCH seeking to know UK’s concern on the missing IPOB leader.

“We are seeking urgent clarification from the Nigerian authorities about the status and whereabouts of Mr. Kanu, a British-Nigerian man, who has been reported missing since September 14,” Abuku stated in an email on Thursday.

    They should refer back to Lai Mohammed’s comment, the Nigerian government is not holding Kanu, he must be in hiding

    Kanu has gone into exile. The coward ran out of the country leaving his other members to suffer in the hands of the army men.

      Shut up! Do you think he’s like Buhari who left all the hospitals in Nigeria to fix himself in London? Your government should explain what it has done to Kanu

    Very good, the federal government of Nigeria should explain to the UK and the world what it has done to our great leader.
