The British Government has pulled down a notice it published regarding its asylum policy in relation to separatist pro-Biafra groups, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, and their splinter groups.
This information came to light in a response to a request for more information by Radio Now.
In an email sent to Radio Now and signed by Hannah Dawson, senior communications officer-Newsdesk at the Home office, the British government said the policy is being reviewed and would be uploaded once it was ready.
The email sent by Hannah Dawson was in response to Radio Now’s query and request for an interview on the original policy which apparently, offered protection to members of some groups some of which stand accused of being behind recent attacks against policemen and government infrastructure in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria.
The UK government did not, however, give a time frame as to when the updated policy will be uploaded to their website.
