two Nigerian boys, Eugene, 7
and Kenneth, 8, don’t know
about the arrest of their father,
Chief Enahoro, sentenced to
15 years in Nigeria for plot

ment. Josephine Lowe, 28, who
is having friendly chat with
the boys in her London flat
and looks after them during
their school holidays, said she’ll
break the news to them before
they go back to school. Right
now she keeps newspapers
hidden and keeps them away
during TV newscasts. Enharo

broken to them gently. Mem
bers of Parliament are taking
steps to urge the Government
to ask Nigeria to cut the sen
