He disclosed that the United Kingdom, UK, was not aware of Kanu’s rearrest and extradition to Nigeria.
In a tweet, Omokri said the government official disclosed that Kanu’s detention was illegal.

“According to this official, Kanu was “almost definitely arrested in KENYA” and “it was an illegal detention”. I won’t reveal my source, but I have him on record.”
Kanu was rearrested on Sunday by a combined team of Nigerian and foreign security operatives.
This was disclosed by the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
