It’s simple.

MNK was tracked by British intelligence in a covert operation and information passed over to Nigerian authorities and the security forces in the West African country MNK was arrested in. That’s just the simple truth. Nigeria never had what it takes to arrest MNK, they relied on the British. The British intelligence monitored his movements for months.

The UK knew it would be tricky to arrest him in the UK since he is a citizen , so they played usual games of cornering MNK on foreign soil.

It is unlikely MNK will be killed since he also holds a British passport but he could be facing life in prison. Who knows who this will end.
