HC Deb 19 March 1963 vol 674 c43W
92. Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consult the Solicitor-General of Nigeria, now in this country, over allegations of the intimidation of witnesses in the Nigerian treason trial, contained in evidence submitted to him on behalf of Chief Anthony Enahoro, which has a material bearing on whether or not Enahoro should be extradited.

Mr. Brooke

The Solicitor-General of Nigeria is, I understand, no longer in this country. I have studied with care the statements referred to by my hon. Friend, but I cannot find that on the basis of this material, much of which has been placed before a court of law in Nigeria, there are sufficient grounds for not returning Chief Enahoro to stand trial.
