Turkey has denied supporting the secessionist agitations in Nigeria and disowned a Turkish citizen, Abdülkadir Erkahraman, who has expressed support for the Biafran agitation.
In response to the development, the Embassy of Turkey in Nigeria issued a release on its website. The embassy distanced the Turkish government from Mr. Erkahraman’s visit to Mr. Kanu.
In the statement on Saturday, the embassy said, “Erkahraman is not a Turkish diplomat or an official representative of the Turkish government.
