The Metropolitan Police's War Crimes Team made the arrest today after receiving a warning in January 2021 and subsequently establishing a case against the man, who is thought to be in his 40s, in collaboration with Counter Terrorism Policing North East (Newcastle). In addition, officers searched the suspect's house in the hopes of finding new evidence of his suspected crimes. Up to a quarter of a million people in the West African nation were killed in a civil war, though thousands more were wounded and disfigured, transforming into guerilla armies from 1989 to 2003.
