Charles Taylor, the former Liberian leader wanted for war crimes, is being flown to his home country following his arrest in Nigeria.
The warlord was caught trying to slip across Nigeria’s north-eastern border with Cameroon, a police spokesman told Reuters.

Mr Taylor was then escorted to a nearby military barracks, where a Reuters reporter saw him walk on to the runway surrounded by about 20 soldiers.

The plane took off en route for the Liberian capital, Monrovia, a security official said.
