Wahala don dey, my people! E be like say Russia don catch one diplomat wey dey work for British Embassy as undercover spy! Na wah o! Dis one na serious gbege wey don happen for Moscow.
Dem say di guy wey dem catch na 45-year-old Davis Gareth Samuel. He dey pose as second secretary for di administrative section, but we sabi say undercover no be small thing. FSB, wey be Russia security service, don order am make e pack him load comot for di country within two weeks. You fit imagine di kind tension wey dis one go bring?
Since 2024, Russia don accuse at least nine British diplomats of espionage, which no be joke matter at all. Di British government don dey deny all di allegations, as dem always vow to ‘respond appropriately’ whenever dem get dis kind belle full. But so far, dem never reply dis latest one from FSB.
Meanwhile, Russia Foreign Ministry no dey carry last. Dem don summon di British charge d’affaires to come hear beta-protest for dem side. Dem talk say, “Moscow no go tolerate any undercover British intelligence officer wey wan dey operate for our territory.” Fellow Naija, dem no wan make dis matter escalate, as dem dey prepare for ‘decisive tit-for-tat response’ wey go fit shock even Brexit!
FSB and di Foreign Ministry talk say dem follow di protocol wey dey under di 1961 Vienna Convention to revoke di diplomat’s accreditation. Na proper wahala be dis o! Dis matter just dey remind us of how UK and Russia relationship don dey spoil since dem start di invasion of Ukraine back in 2022, with plenty wahala like di 2018 poisoning of former spy Sergei Skripal.
As e dey be now, di British Embassy for Moscow don dey under fire, and dem dey try figure out wetin dem go do next. But one tin wey go clear be say, di spy game no be play-play biz. E be like say espionage go continue to dey cause wahala between di two countries, and we go dey keep our eyes well well as di gist dey unfold.
