Charles Taylor 'duped' by Nigeria
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor has said he was duped by Nigeria into being arrested there in 2006.
Speaking at his war crimes trial in The Hague, he said Nigeria's then-leader had reneged on a promise to let him leave the country freely.
He also claimed a plot involving the UK and the US led to his indictment.
Mr Taylor is accused of backing rebels, who committed widespread atrocities throughout the 1990s in Liberia's neighbour Sierra Leone.
