(FILES) - Picture dated 30 August shows Nigerian President General Sani Abacha at the last session of the summit meeting of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in Abuja. Britain ruled out 22 October allowing a Nigerian delegation to attend the next Commonwealth summit scheduled to begin 24 October in Edinburgh. "They would need visas to get over here and under the present restrictions they would be unable to obtain them". Nigeria was suspended from the Commonwealth after the execution of nine human rights activists in November 1995. (Photo credit should read ISSOUF SANOGO/AFP/Getty Images)
