Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was lured to a location in an African country with a promise of cash donation in millions of dollars, TheCable understands.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\nThe IPOB leader, who was facing charges bordering on treasonable felony following his campaign for the secession of Republic of Biafra, had jumped bail in 2017 after a military action, code-named \u201cOperation Python Dance\u201d, targeted his family house in Abia state.<\/p>\n

Security sources informed TheCable that the operation to re-arrest and put him back on trial had been \u201congoing for a while\u201d until success was recorded on Sunday, June 27.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was not arrested in the UK or Brazil or Czech Republic. He was not crated either, contrary to speculations,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

The Nigerian government has not named the country where Kanu was arrested, with Abubakar Malami, the attorney-general of the federation, just saying he was \u201cintercepted\u201d and extradited to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

However, THEWILL, an online newspaper, reported that the \u201cinterception\u201d\u00a0took place in Ethiopia,\u00a0<\/b><\/a>where it said Kanu had been living for a while.<\/p>\n

THISDAY specifically\u00a0named Addis Ababa,<\/a><\/b>\u00a0<\/a>the capital city of Ethiopia, as the location.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\nTheCable learnt that Kanu was tracked through some members of IPOB who were recently arrested following a massive military operation in the south-east.<\/p>\n

The security agencies worked through the links to give the IPOB leader the impression that he was going to be given some \u201cmillions of dollars\u201d in cash donations to the organisation.<\/p>\n

He was said to have decided to collect the money himself \u201cbecause of the huge amount involved\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kanu even kept his associates in the dark about his mission, according to the security sources who said the top hierarchy did not know his whereabouts on the day he was arrested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He had been having a crisis of confidence with some of his lieutenants over financial matters.<\/p>\n

On arriving at the location where he was to collect the \u2018donation\u2019, he was arrested by that country\u2019s security agencies and Interpol, and deported to Nigeria, the source said.<\/p>\n

This has brought an end to the\u00a0long-running episode<\/a><\/b>\u00a0since he left Nigeria while on bail.<\/p>\n

His trial is expected to resume on July 26.<\/p>\n
