Electoral register edit

Unsurprising that 'combing the electoral register' this did not help the agents to locate Dikko - it would be surprising if within one year he had become eligible to vote in the UK. Dikko would not be listed. Perhaps he was known to be cohabiting with another person (e.g. girlfriend, child) who could be listed?

It is strange also that there was such difficulty in locating Dikko if he was indeed a 'vocal critic' of the military regime as stated.

The statement that Dikko was located by a Mossad agent who just happened to drive past him in Queensway, London is frankly unbelievable. As the Mossad agent seemingly identified him only by photograph, this statement should be removed or a citation added. Or perhaps a mention could be made of whichever feature of Dikko's extra-ordinary physical appearance allowed him to be spotted so easily.

Finally, Nigeria as a whole is not 'predominately Muslim'. I've deleted that phrase. Centrepull (talk) 11:38, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
