British High Commission speaks on Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest
The arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has prompted a statement from the British High Commission (IPOB). While the British High Commission confirm Kanu's arrest, Dean Hurlock, a spokeswoman for the British High Commission, informed TheCable that he was not apprehended in the UK, where he is located. The IPOB leader, who is also a British citizen, has lived in the UK since fleeing Nigeria in 2017. Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) Abubakar Malami informed journalists on Tuesday that he was apprehended on Sunday as a result of "collaborative efforts" by Nigerian intelligence and security services. The AGF did not specify where the separatist leader was apprehended, but Hurlock told TheCable that it was outside of the UK when contacted. He claimed through text message, "We can certify that Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in the UK for extradition grounds." Kanu was detained for the first time on October
