Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has ben arrested. The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami disclosed this on Tuesday, to journalists in Abuja.

The IPOB leader was undergoing trial before he jumped bail, few years ago and has been living in exile since then.

The trial of the IPOB leader will now continue, Malami said, adding that he will be tried for terrorism, treasonable felony and unlawful possession of firearms.
