Alleged Cybercrime: Court orders arrest of UK-based radiographer

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the arrest and extradition of Immaculata Ikenwankwor, a radiographer based in the United Kingdom. The court issued a warrant for her apprehension and extradition to Nigeria to face charges related to cybercrime.

The order came after an application was filed by the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu. The court directed the IGP to place Ikenwankwor on an Interpol Red Notice, signaling an international effort to locate and detain her.

The specific cybercrime charges against the radiographer were not detailed in the provided information. However, the court's action indicates a significant legal pursuit by Nigerian authorities against an individual residing abroad.

This development highlights the increasing efforts by Nigerian law enforcement to address cybercrime and bring offenders to justice, even when they are located outside the country. The involvement of Interpol underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the cross-border nature of such offenses.
