Legal Questions Raised About Nigeria's Extradition of Separatists

 Authorities extradited 47 Cameroonian Anglophone separatists to face charges in Yaoundé where the government has described them as "terrorists". Concerns have been raised by lawyers about the legality of such an extradition given the lack of any specific treaty between the two countries and outstanding requests made by the separatists for political asylum.
