Kanu was arrested through joint efforts between the Nigerian and UK authorities, said Malami.
Kanu is expected to be produced at the Federal High Court, Abuja, for continuation of his trial for alleged treason.
Nnamdi Kanu was on trial in Nigeria before jumping bail and fleeing to Jerusalem.
The Nigerian government had charged him with treason but Binta Nyako, a judge of the federal high court in Abuja, had granted him bail after 18 months in detention.
Kanu had flouted all the terms of the bail before the military invaded his Abia residence on September 14, 2017.
He fled afterwards and resurfaced in Jerusalem on Friday
In a broadcast via Radio Biafra, Kanu boasted that the Nigerian court lacks the capacity to try him, describing the court as a Kangaroo court.
He said the judge who asked his sureties to produce him should have asked the army why they invaded his residence.
“Nigerian court is a Kangaroo court. I did not jump bail, I left because the court failed to protect me,” he said.
