Nnamdi Kanu released Malami

Contrary to insinuations by Nnamdi Kanu’s brother, Kingsley Kanu, that his sibling was extradited to Nigeria from Kenya, officials of the country have denied having knowledge of such development.

A spokeswoman for the Kenyan interior ministry in an interview with Reuters said the ministry was not aware of the matter.

In the same vein, Kenya’s Director-General of Immigration Services, Alexander Muteshi, has also dismissed the claims. Speaking to a local news media, Kenya’s Nation, Muteshi noted it was impossible to tell whether Nnamdi Kanu had entered Kenyan territory.

However, the Kenyan foreign affairs ministry in Nairobi did not respond to a request for comment by Reuters. Likewise, the Nigerian government has remained mum on the details of the embattled IPOB’s leader arrest.
