He was arrested and extradited to Nigeria to face trial.

According to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami(SAN), at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, June 29, Kanu was arrested with the help of Interpol.

He revealed that Kanu was arrested and brought back to Nigeria on Sunday, June 27. He said the arrest followed a collaborative effort between security agencies in Nigeria and the Interpol.
