The issue was raised when the British lawmakers debated a petition targeting some Nigerian government officials who were involved in the #EndSARS protest.

Nigerians Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon (Rtd), replied to the allegations against him that he engaged in a fraud as he was accused of stealing half of Nigerians money in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) when he was on exile in the UK in July 1975.

He also said that he served Nigeria delligently and his time of service is an open book that everyone can always refer to.
