The High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, has warned that Nigerian politicians who incite or execute violence during Saturday’s elections would have their visas banned and assets in the United Kingdom seized.

Laing gave the warning at a press briefing on Wednesday to unveil the Election Situation Room of the Civil Society set up by a coalition of civil society organizations to monitor the polls in Abuja.

She reminded politicians that apart from the possibility of having their assets seized in the UK, they could experience a worst case scenario of prosecution.
