Dean Hurlock, a spokesperson to the British High Commission, has confirmed that IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in the United Kingdom.
Hurlock told TheCable when contacted that it was outside of the UK.
“We can confirm that Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested in the UK for extradition purposes,” he said via text message.
The IPOB leader, who is also a UK citizen, had been in the UK since 2017 when he fled Nigeria.
It has been difficult for the government to re-arrest him since then due in part to his UK citizenship.
