In 1984 the
no-nonsense Buhari/Idiagon- led military regime employed the services of the Israeli
intelligence agency (Mossad) to help kidnap Umaru Dikko from London to Nigeria. Mr.
Dikko was a former Nigerian minister who had fled to Britain in the wake of the
military take over.
The kidnap
attempt was foiled by British authorities at the last hour and it predictably
sparked a serious diplomatic row between Nigeria and Britain. The below video clip was a TV news report of
the incidence where Nigeria’s High Commissioner in London then; General Haladu
Hananiya (rtd) was visibly struggling to shy away from journalists’ questions
about Nigeria’s official involvement in the kidnap attempt.
