In a letter to the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catrina Laing CB, Ejimakor urged the British authorities to urgently demand Kanu’s unconditional release from detention. Kanu is a British citizen, who was traveling on a valid British passport, when he was seized in a third country and forcibly brought to Nigeria. “He was not traveling on Nigerian passport or the passport of any other country, including that of Kenya. There is no extant order of extradition by any British Court or any other foreign Court (including Kenya) and we are informed that there is no pending extradition proceedings standing against him in Britain or Kenya.
