Opposition Niger
presidential candidate Hama Amadou was arrested Saturday on his return from a
year in exile over allegations of baby trafficking, a party colleague said.
"He
was arrested on leaving the plane. Police presented him with a warrant issued
for his arrest," said lawmaker Amadou Salah.
The
former prime minister and national assembly president fled the country in
August last year to escape baby trafficking charges.
