The United Kingdom parliament has affirmed that there will be a deliberation on issues surrounding the repatriation of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Kanu, who is also a British citizen, was arrested on Sunday and extradited to Nigeria to face trial for alleged treason.

Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF), said on Tuesday that the IPOB leader was “intercepted through the collaborative efforts of Nigerian intelligence and security services”.

Nigeria’s Attorney general did not state where the separatist leader was arrested, but candidreporters.com earlier reported that IPOB in a press release said Kanu was arrested in Kenya.

According to the document, Lord Alton of Liverpool will be raising the issue at the House of Lords and will ask the British government on Kanu’s repatriation to Nigeria.

The Document reads: “To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of (1) the alleged role of the government of Kenya in the detention and alleged mistreatment of Nigerian activist Nnamadi Kanu, (2) the circumstances surrounding the transfer of Mr Kanu to Nigeria against his will, and (3) of any assistance being provided to him by the high commission in Abuja.”
