HUman Rights Lawyer Femi Falana SAN, has warned the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike, against sealing off embassies over non-payment of ground rent.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria gave the warning while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday June 9, 2025 coutioned that sealing off embassies located in Abuja would lead to a severe diplomatic crisis for Nigeria.
Femi Falana said, “No court of law can order that execution be levied on any embassy, and Nigeria is part of the international community.
“If we embark on invading the embassy of any country, it’s going to lead to a serious diplomatic crisis for Nigeria.
It’s not allowed. In fact, if a policeman is pursuing anybody for committing any offence and the person is able to scale the fence of an embassy, the police officer can’t invade the embassy, irrespective of the offence committed.
“Embassies and missions covered by the Vienna Convention of Diplomatic Relations can’t be invaded because they have not paid groundrent.
