Isyaku Ibrahim, Elder statesman and Second Republic politician has narrated how the late Queen Elizabeth helped stopped the extradition of a former Transportation Minister, Umaru Dikko, by the General Muhammadu Buhari-led (Rtd) regime in 1984.
It was recalled that on July 5th, 1984, in what is now infamously known as the ‘Dikko Affair’, the Buhari regime allegedly sanctioned the abduction and extra-ordinary rendition of Dikko, who served in the Shehu Shagari government toppled by Buhari.
Dikko was found with a Jewish doctor drugged and kept in a crate at Stansted Airport destined for Lagos State.
