According to a statement by Femi Adesina, the special adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Britain also assured Nigeria of its willingness to lend a helping hand to Nigerians in its war against terrorism.
Adesina’s statement reads: “President Buhari and Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain Thursday (yesterday), appraised the war against different forms of terrorism in Nigeria, and agreed that the judicial process is allowed to run its course.
“Holding bilateral talks at the sidelines of the Global Education Summit in London, the two leaders said it was important that the judicial process runs without interference, no matter who was involved.
