The embattled leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu reportedly has his British passport in the custody of the Kenyan Government.
Kanu was re-arrested in Kenya in what the federal government called international collaborative efforts late last month.
Kenya had denied involvement in the operation.
Kanu later admitted to his counsel Ifeanyi Ejiofor that he was indeed nabbed in Nairobi from where he was flown to Abuja to continue his trial for treasonable felony.
The Guardian reported on Saturday that Kanu entered Kenya this year on his British passport on a visa expiring in June.
It said the passport remains in Kenya.
The newspaper Saturday quoted Kingsley, Kanu’s bother, as saying he had spoken to him while he was in Kenya days before he went missing last month.
His words: “I spoke to him on the phone, he was well in Nairobi.
“His associates said he went out, he didn’t take his documents with him so he wasn’t planning on going anywhere.
“Then all of a sudden we see him paraded in handcuffs in Abuja.”
Kanu also claimed that his brother was not in possession of a Nigerian passport as he had verbally renounced Nigerian citizenship in broadcasts on Radio Biafra.
The British newspaper said abduction of a person from a foreign country with the aim of rendition to justice is illegal under international law.
