{{A court in Nigeria has ordered the extradition to the US of a man accused of having links with al-Qaeda and recruiting members to train in Yemen.}}
Lawal Olaniyi Babafemi, also known as Ayatollah Mustapha, will be extradited within 14 days to stand trial in the US, the court ruled.
Mr Babafemi denies being linked to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
Nigeria has been hit by an Islamist insurgency since 2009.
The Boko Haram group has carried out a wave of bombings and assassinations in its campaign to create an Islamic state across Nigeria.
Nigerian and US officials have repeatedly accused it of receiving training from foreign groups.
However, there is no suggestion so far that Mr Babafemi was linked to the insurgency in Nigeria.
