He fled to Nigeria, thinking he would be safe. He was wrong. In June 2018, Joshua Boadu was murdered in the United Kingdom. The suspect, Matthew Chukwuemeka Adebiyi, escaped to Nigeria, thinking that being far away would keep him from facing justice. For six years, he believed he was safe. But those years would be his last spent in freedom. After UK authorities made a formal extradition request in September 2024, INTERPOL NCB Abuja responded quickly. Adebiyi was arrested on January 23, 2025, and extradition proceedings started at the Federal High Court in Lagos. On February 16, 2026, Justice A.O. Faji approved the extradition. On April 14, 2026, at Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, he was handed over to UK law enforcement. He finally faced the justice he had tried to avoid. He also faces charges of supplying crack cocaine in the UK between 2017 and 2018. Joshua Boadu's family waited nearly eight years for this day. Today, the Nigeria Police Force and INTERPOL NCB Abuja made it possible. The Inspector General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, psc(+), NPM, has a clear message: Nigeria is not a hiding place. It is not a refuge for fugitives. No border, distance or time will stop the Force from working with the global community to deliver justice. No matter where you go, justice will find you.

PRESS STATEMENT 29-03-2026 RESIGNATION FROM THE NEW NIGERIA PEOPLE’S PARTY (NNPP) I wish to formally announce my resignation from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) with immediate effect. I seize this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the honour and privilege of serving as the Party’s National Leader and its Presidential Candidate in the 2023 General Elections. As a committed and bonafide member of the party, this was not an easy decision to make. However, considering the current trajectory of the nation’s political landscape, which calls for strategic realignment, I have found it necessary to identify with another political platform that offers the best opportunity to effectively change the nation. I extend my deepest appreciation to the National Chairman, Ajuji Ahmed and the entire National Working Committee for their steadfast support throughout my time. I also thank the Board of Trustees, the National Executive Committee, and all levels of leadership across the party — from the ward to the state level, as well as the legacy members of the party and all followers of the Kwankwasiyya Movement for their dedication and commitment to our shared mission. We shall continue to collaborate and work together towards charting a better and more prosperous future for our dear nation. Signed, Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Kano State Governor, 2023 Presidential Candidate, New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP)
