Authorities in Nigeria say Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the separatist group IPOB, has been arrested.

The Minister of Justice and Antoni General Abubakar Malami confirmed the arrest of Mr Kanu at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.

He added that the IPOB chairman was arrested on Sunday and would be arraigned in court on charges of seeking secession from Nigeria.

Kanu is facing charges of treason which has led to him being arraigned before a Federal High Court in Abuja for his campaign for the creation of Biafra through IPOB.

He is accused of "uniting extremist groups, spreading false information, possessing illegal weapons and importing illicit goods into Nigeria," Malami said.

In April 2017 he was granted bail on medical grounds but escaped from the country.

Nigerian security forces later declared IPOB a terrorist organization
