Dibert- Dollet said he could potentially be tried at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which was investigating the violence in Central African Republic.
The prosecutor said Andilo was transferred to Bangui overnight and taken into custody by the judicial police, as a warrant for his arrest had been issued in May.
Anti-balaka leaders said Ngaibona’s arrest threatened reconciliation efforts, as they say they have transformed their movement into a political party. (Reuters/NAN)
