It pained President Buhari that the British government is providing asylum for this woman that he wants to prosecute for her financial crimes against the Nigeria state.

BUT BRITAIN DO NOT GIVE A f u c k .


Nigeria is crazy to think they can bullied Britain into surrounding Deziani.

Historically speaking, the federal government is refusing to learn from history especially the past events that characterized similar repatriation bids by the previous federal government in Nigeria.

They refuse to repatriate the former transport minister under the Shagari government, Late Umaru Dikko who was given asylum in the Britain.

Britain also refuse to repatriate the former head of state, General Yakubu Gowon for his alleged role in the 1976 dimka coup and the assassination of Murtala Mohammed the then head of state.

Unlike the James Ibori case, Britain will definitely frustrate Nigeria and keep Deziani in London as long as she wants to stay there.
