Biafran’s independence leader Nnamdi Kanu was found for almost four years and arrested on Sunday, June 27, 2021 under still unclear circumstances. If he was transferred to Nigeria, where he has been in court since Tuesday, June 29, it is still unknown where he was found. Back in the footsteps of one of the most wanted refugees.
It is on a Kenyan immigration stamp as the lawyer by Nnamdi Kanu relies on claiming his arrest in Nairobi. According to Ms Aloy Ejimakor, the transfer of the independence leader to Nigeria on Sunday took place without the support of the Kenyan authorities. According to him, Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped by Nigerian agents with the help of local staff. A dissertation that has not yet been confirmed by the Nigerian government.
In Abuja, the local press evokes other hypotheses about the possible location of the arrest from the leader of the IPOB (Indigenous people of Biafra). Some newspapers mention the Netherlands where he would have traveled before coming to Ukraine. Others speak of an arrest in Ethiopia, where the Nigerian authorities have reportedly cooperated with Interpol.
One thing is certain: we know that Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in Britain. A spokesman for the British High Commission in Abuja on Wednesday denied the arrest of the separatist leader on his land.
The arrest of Nnamdi Kanu did not comply with international law on extradition or due process. He was intercepted during what can be described as kidnapping, so this is an illegal arrest, and he was returned illegally to Nigeria.
