According to the supplied report, Zhang Shijie was sought in connection with alleged large-scale smuggling of endangered African Rosewood. The supplied material does not state the date or location of his arrest in Nigeria, the value or quantity of the alleged timber, the exact offences filed, or the court and warrant process supporting the repatriation.
