In Nigeria, the mystery surrounding the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu remains. The separatist leader of Biafra was arrested on Sunday (June 27) abroad and taken back to Nigeria, where he was being held. We did not know until he was arrested, although his lawyer mentioned on Wednesday, June 30, on our antenna his passage in Kenya, a Kenyan trail that has now been confirmed.
It was at Jomo Kenyatta airport in Nairobi that Nnamdi Kanu was reportedly arrested.
According to his brother, Kingsley Kanunta Kanu, even the separatist leader was abducted by unknown men and returned to Nigeria by force. A kidnapping that he described as an “extrajudicial transfer” in violation of international law.

Especially since no extradition request was made to the authorities for the transfer of the independence leader to Abuja.
His relatives also have a hard time understanding why Nigeria arrested him while Kanu was traveling with a British passport.
Some point to the responsibility of the Kenyan authorities who would have closed their eyes to his arrest.
They recall that a similar case had already taken place in Kenya in May last year, where the nephew of Fethullah Gülen, bête noire by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been captured by Turkish spies.
Imprisoned on Tuesday, Kanu awaits terrorism trial on July 26. His relatives have already demanded that his “illegal detention” be stopped and say they are worried about the fate that awaits him in prison.
