The supreme leader of the banned separatist group the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has been arrested and is in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, to face trial, a spokesman for the justice minister said on Tuesday.



Kanu's whereabouts had been unknown since he failed to appear at previous court hearings after being granted bail. A judge had ordered his arrest in March 2019.

"He has been arrested and taken to Abuja High Court today, and the court adjourned until July 27," the minister's spokesman said.
