Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has stated that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, was rearrested in Kenya.
Omokri disclosed that the United Kingdom was not aware of Kanu’s rearrest and extradition to Nigeria.
In a tweet, Omokri said the government official disclosed that Kanu’s detention was illegal.
Omokri wrote: “I just spoke with a top UK government source. Nnamdi Kanu was NOT arrested or extradited by the British.
“According to this official, Kanu was “almost definitely arrested in KENYA” and “it was an illegal detention”. I won’t reveal my source, but I have him on record.”
In a move that has caused ripples in the polity, separatist leader Kanu was rearrested on Sunday by a combined team of Nigerian and foreign security operatives.
The Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, disclosed this during a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, saying Kanu would faces charges of treason and illegal possession of firearms for which he had been granted bail.
