It is all about American interest. The whole thing is a pushback by the US Government.
It is reported that there was no arrest warrant from INTERPOL as at the time of his arrest.
How do you subject someone to extradition without an Extradition Treaty?
This is mainly politics.

I like the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó. I am also opposed to communism.
But it is clear that the sanctions that the Trump administration imposed on Venezuela and the Maduro regime has impacted Venezuelans negatively. It has crumbled their economy.

Saab is being targeted by the US because he was doing a lot to undermine the sanctions. I don't have the facts of the money laundering allegations made by the US. It may well be true. What is certain is that he made it possible for Venezuela to avoid sanctions in a limited way.
The US knows that if they are able to incapacitate Alex Saab, the Maduro regime will suffer terribly. Saab was heading to Iran (anti-US country) to see how to secure humanitarian reliefs and facilitate crude oil export. He stopped over in Cape Verde to refuel and was arrested.
ECOWAS Court ordered his release but authorities in Cape Verde are still trying to extradite him as demanded by the US. How many countries can stand up to the US?
There's no extradition treaty between the US and Cape Verde.
But who cares about these details on Twitter Nigeria?

Switzerland also said that it had a case against Alex Saab, but it was later dropped due to lack of evidence. The US does not recognize the government of Nicolas Maduro. They rather recognized the opposition leader.
That is why I said people should read up on their own.

I have a feeling that the US sees 'the advocacy' as a stumbling block to their extradition request. It is a case of varying International interests.
But people are just interested in sensationalism. Even those who know nothing about the case are throwing baseless allegations.

Those who understand what is playing out will be laughing at us in Nigeria.
The US Government has always targeted those who undermine their sanctions or work against American interest.
Where does ECOWAS and the ordinary citizens of Venezuela stand in this diplomatic crisis?
