Abstract

This paper investigates Nigeria’s involvement in the extra-ordinary rendition process. Given that the first attempt was a failure and was carried out by a military dictatorship, there has been a great deal of worry both inside and outside the country. Since the second attempt was successful and occurred during a democratic administration, there is significant cause for concern. Many are wondering why Nigeria consistently chooses extrajudicial measures rather than utilizing the effective extradition procedures. The episodes have also brought up significant concerns of international law, including those relating to extradition, practice, and processes, which this paper aims to explore. The paper looks at Nigeria’s government’s activities and identifies the significant international law concerns they present. The paper demonstrates that, in addition to being intrinsically wrong, extraordinary rendition frequently violates a number of human rights.
