Former Attorney General of the Federation, Mohammed Bello Adoke has been arrested shortly after he returned up Nigeria after years of self imposed exile
Chief Mike Ozekhome, counsel to Adoke, said the former minister of justice was picked on arrival on Thursday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja by Interpol officials.
Adoke had voluntarily returned to the country after he was released by Dubai police following a legal deadlock on Nigeria’s request to repatriate him to stand trial over the controversial OPL 245 transaction.
In terse text message to a media outlet, Ozekhome said Adoke “was picked up at the foot of the aircraft by Interpol, refusing anyone access to him. He is believed to be on his way to the Interpol office at Area 10, Garki, Abuja.”
