Kenya, Nigeria in Diplomatic Talks Over Detainees….

Nairobi
June 17th 2013

Kenya has initiated diplomatic talks with Nigerian authorities aimed at securing the release of Government officers who are held in Lagos.

Kenya has been grappling on how to secure the release of seven Government officials and five-airline crew of a private jet that was chattered to deport 10 foreigners, including five Nigerians, among them controversial businessman Anthony Chinedu, who had a long running court battle with his former wife Alice Akinyi about two weeks.

The 12 have been detained for almost two weeks at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, as Nigerian authorities claim Antony Chinedu was not procedurally deported. The charted plane belonging to East African Safari Express has also been detained.

Yesterday, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed revealed she had made contact with Nigeria but refused to divulge information on the level of engagement. Amina said providing more details on the saga may jeopardise the consultations and thus affect the progress of ensuring Kenyans and the jet are released.

“There are a lot of bilateral consultations between the two governments to see how the issue can be resolved, I can’t give you more information as it will complicate issues under consultation,” she said.
The Foreign Secretary when pressed by journalists to explain further on the negotiations asked the media to give the ministry time to address the matter adding; “This as you know is not easy to address, please allow us the time to complete the bilateral consultations.”

The Government officials who included police and immigration officials are Barasa Okosa, Kariuki Ngugi, Mungathia Muriira, Pardala Dipason, Kivuva Muthama, Andrew Kambi and Mutinda Kakindu.

The airline crew include Captain Tim Kavingo, flight engineer Alaka Ochieng’ and flight attendants George Kamau and Ismail Adan and a swede national, First officer Rokshanker Masoud.

Chinedu is said to have convinced his Government that the deportation had nothing to do with drugs but rather a commercial dispute and was meant to defraud him property, which he claims to be estimated at around Sh500 million.

Anthony Chinedu ……
Anthony Chinedu on Monday demanded full payment of his investments in Kenya before seven officials and a plane held at a Lagos airport are released……

Daily Nation (Kenyan Newspaper)
June 17 2013

New details are emerging on how Kenyan officials who accompanied Mr Chinedu and two other Nigerians deported two weeks ago spent the night in their aircraft because they were not allowed to leave.
Mr Chinedu, speaking to the Nation on phone from Leki Beach, Lagos, claimed:

“I am the official of the government of Nigeria. The aircraft is now mine, it is waiting for me at the airport,” he said, adding:
“All I want is my money, and without these guys being detained here, I won’t get my money.
But you can rest assured they are safe, they are eating well.”
The Kenyans and a Swedish pilot — five crew and seven security and immigration officials — flew with the three Nigerians kicked out on drug trafficking claims to Lagos, but were not allowed to leave.

On Monday, one of the detained officials claimed they slept in the aircraft and ate spoilt food because they were considered illegal entrants. They contacted the High Commission when they realised the issue was getting out of hand.

“We were only allowed out in the evening the next day because embassy (Kenyan High Commission) officials had come in,” one of the officials said.

When contacted, an official at the Nigerian High Commission in Kenya said the group was currently staying at the Park View Astoria Hotel in the Ikoyi suburb of Lagos.

Did Mr. Chinedu make such or claim or the Kenyans are just adding “Sault & Pepper” to juice up the whole story?
