 Lagos (Reuter) - Nigeria will transfer former Liberian president Charles Taylor, who is living in exile in Nigeria and has been indicted for war crimes, to Liberian custody, the Nigerian government said on Saturday.
It issued a statement headed "Former president Charles Taylor to be transferred to the custody of the government of Liberia", which read: "President Olusegun Obasanjo has today... informed (Liberian) President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf that the government of Liberia is free to take former President Charles Taylor into its custody."
Taylor agreed to go into exile in Nigeria in 2003 as part of a peace deal to end 14 years of civil war in Liberia.
