He added that despite the fugitive’s frequent change of identity and
locations, the operatives were still able to keep a tab on him without
raising any suspicion. All the necessary required procedures to enable
the handover of the fugitive to the UK Authorities have already been
concluded.

that the Nigeria Police Force will always ensure that all fugitives
that show up in Nigeria would be apprehended upon request and turned
over accordingly.
