The Federal Government has taken the British Government for frustrating its moves to have the Radio Biafra shut.
Radio Biafra, according to the Federal Government, which is sited in the United Kingdom, has done an irreparable damage to Nigeria and the Federal Government says much as ut has made moves to have it closed down, the British government is frustrating its efforts at every turn.
The Information and Culture, Minister Lai Mohammed,made the disclosure during a news conference held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He said despite all the damages done by Radio Biafra, the British government was hiding under the right to freedom of expression.
"Who does not know that the IPOB internal radio is located in London? We know the diplomatic moves we have been taking and approaching the UK, all the damages it (Radio Biafra) has done, but they don't see it that way, for them (the British government), it is about freedom of expression.
"If we've a person in Nigeria openly soliciting arms to come and fight the UK, what would you think of? Would you consider that freedom of expression? And this is a country that also has had a history, what did Iraq do to be labeled a terrorist organisation? They were planting bombs, they were fighting the British army.
"I don't want any diplomatic row, we know for a fact where the funding is coming from and we are going to stop them but it is difficult to stop them and we have been working on it and we will not stop," he said.
