It is no more news that the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been rearrested by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but the question every Nigerian is asking is: Where was he arrested?
The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami had on Tuesday in a Press Conference told a surprised Nation that Nnamdi Kanu, wanted for Treason had been “intercepted and arrested with the help of Security Intelligence officers and repatriated to Nigeria”.
Since then, Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer and his family have also confirmed that the Biafran Exponent has been arraigned in court in Nigeria on Tuesday and July 26, 2021, fixed as the adjourned date for hear the matter.
The recent pictures showing him in handcuffs have demolished any atom of doubt that really, Nnamdi Kanu has been rearrested.
However, confusion has continued to trail where he was arrested.
Since the story of his “capture” flooded the airwaves, various versions have also emerged on where and how the acclaimed IPOB Leader was arrested.
The first story which appeared was that Kanu was arrested in Czech Republic an Eastern European country, while on transit from Singapore.
While that information was yet to be clarified, another news filtered out he was arrested in Ethopia, where it was alleged he was living recently.
However, before the latest news was to sink in, another unverified sources droped that Nnamdi Kanu was apprehended in Eastern African Country to Kenya.
Yet again, another story has it that it was in London, the United Kingdom.
But among the countries mentioned in the flying rumours, only United Kingdom has come out to deny that the IPOB Leader was not arrested in their land.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria was quoted to have said through the Spokesperson of the Commission, Dean Hurlock that Kanu was not picked in the UK.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government has not yet made open where Kanu was arrested, but indication is that as time goes on Nigerians will get to know the authentic story surrounding the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu.
Before now, Nnamdi Kanu was granted bail in an 11 count charge on Health grounds, but he fled Nigeria.
However, when his case was reopened on Tuesday, Kanu said he ran out of Nigeria to avoid death.
The case has been fixed for July 26, 2011 for further hearing, in Federal High Court Abuja, before Hon Justice Binta Nyako.
