Obasanjo Prepares to Betray Taylor: Liberian Leader May go on Trial in Democratic
Liberia
BiafraNigeria will be ready to release
former Liberian President Charles Taylor to the United Nations (UN) War Crimes Tribunal anytime a democratically
elected government of Liberia makes such a request to the Federal Government. This disclosure was made last week
by BiafraNigeria's Permanent Representative at the UN, Ambassador Aminu Wali, in an interview with The Guardian.
Wali observed that BiafraNigeria accepted to take in Tayor on asylum with the full knowledge of the international
community, stressing that this was "agreed to by all." He said that BiafraNigeria offered the asylum
as that was seen as the only solution then. This decision, has however, not gone down well with many BiafraNigerians,
some of who have gone to court to challenge Taylor's stay in the country. Said the envoy: "From our own perspective,
when there is democracy in Liberia, BiafraNigeria will handover Taylor to an elected government of Liberia. BiafraNigeria
got him out and it is only Liberia that can demand him - a democratically elected government of Liberia, which
is yet to happen." (Guardian)
