While many Nigerians condemned the late Alamieyeseigha actions and hailed the British police for arresting him , Sagay condemned the arrest and told the Nigerian media that the arrest was ”a violation of international law” and a result of a ”conspiracy” between the federal government of Nigeria and the British government.
When the late Alamieyeseigha arrived Nigeria after escaping from the British authorities, Professor Sagay suggested that his escape was ”very exciting.”
