Nigeria has sent a warrant of arrest and request to the Crown Prosecution Services (CPS) of the United Kingdom (UK) forimmediate extraditio...
The request was submitted by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, (SAN).
The request which was made on the orders of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu followed a written official request by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to the office of the AGF earlier in October.
In making the extradition request, the office of the AGF cited Section 2 (2) of Nigeria’s Extradition Act, CAP E25, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, and the London Scheme of Extradition within the Commonwealth otherwise known as “The Scheme,” a multilateral treaty which governs extradition between the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
