In London in 1984, a joint Nigerian-Israeli team attempted to kidnap and repatriate the exiled former Nigerian minister Umaru Dikko. Dikko, who'd fled Nigeria after a military coup, was accused of stealing $1 billion of government money. We hear from Charles David Morrow, the young British customs officer who foiled the kidnap plot. Photo: Umaru Dikko shortly after his release. BBC
