Malami said that Kanu was arrested and brought back to Nigeria on Sunday.

Malami added that the arrest followed a collaborative effort between security agencies in Nigeria and Interpol.

Ruling on the request for remand in the custody of the DSS, Justice Nyako, held that the Prosecution should inform Kanu’s lawyer of his rearrest and remand in the custody of the DSS.

The judge subsequently adjourned till July 26 for the continuation of the trial.

Kanu was granted bail in 2017 and subsequently jumped bail and was declared wanted by the government.
