The Nigerian government has said it will not disclose where Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was rearrested.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said that Nigeria security outfits have been on his trail for two years before he was rearrested.

“There have been speculations on how this re-arrest was pulled off and in which country the hitherto fugitive leader of the proscribed IPOB was nabbed. What we can tell you, once again, is that the re-arrest was made possible by the diligent efforts of our security and intelligence agencies, in collaboration with countries with which we have obligations. We continue to respect and honour the obligations,” Mohammed said on Thursday.

The minister said that all those who conspired and collaborated with Kanu will not be spared by the Nigerian government.

“As you are aware, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, has been rearrested and repatriated to Nigeria to resume his trial. This was made possible through the collaboration of Nigerian security and intelligence agencies.

“Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others, jumped bail in 2017 and left the country. On Tuesday, Kanu was re-arraigned in court and ordered to be remanded in the custody of the DSS, while the case was adjourned till July 26-27, 2021.

“Gentlemen, the Federal Government wishes to commend the Nigerian security and intelligence agencies, who collaborated to re-arrest the proscribed IPOB leader in one of the most classic operations of its type in the world.

“We commend the professionalism, diligence, patriotism and painstaking efforts of our security and intelligence agencies. We also thank the sister international agencies that collaborated with us to pull off this arrest.

“It will interest Nigerians to know that for over two years, our security and intelligence agencies were on the trail of the proscribed IPOB leader as he lived a five-star life across several countries, travelling on chartered private jets, living in luxury apartments and turning out in designing clothes and shoes. Of course, as we all saw, he was wearing an attire made by Fendi, a luxury Italian fashion brand, when he was arrested.

“We can tell you that the forensic investigation carried out so far has revealed a treasure trove of information on the proscribed IPOB leader and his collaborators. While the investigation continues, we assure you that none of the collaborators, irrespective of their standing in the society, will be spared.

If you don’t tell us, Kanu knows where he was arrested. He will tell us by himself if he is lucky to survive this

Good

We don't want to know

Good point.

Let them keep guessing.

Or they should go and ask the oni kuje of kuje prison, maybe after this afternoon watery beans.

Why's the process of the government arresting someone a secret?
Were there shady practises involved?

We know already. U are not going to disclose cos u know abduction and kidnapping go against international best practices

Keep the shitty info to yourself but know for a sure that the disintegration of this shithole of a country being administered by terrorists and their sympathizers like Isah Pantami, Gumi is gonna happened.

Government deliberately planted all the various version of how he was arrested that is in circulation. Kenya, Brazil, Cameroon, Czech etc are all fake. The real story of how and where he was arrested will never be told to the public.

Kanu was not arrested by Nigeria Government, but he was handed over to FG which country handed him over is the main question When was he handed over to Nigeria

I wonder if his 5 star life-style and designer clothing is part of the 11 count charges against mnk. This government and childish mentality sha.
