LAGOS, Feb 15 (Reuters) - A rebel faction from Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta said on Friday its leader, Henry Okah, had been deported illegally from Angola where he was arrested on gun-running charges last September.

There was no immediate comment from the Nigerian authorities. Okah's arrest had sparked a wave of attacks on oil facilities and the armed forces in the Niger Delta. (Reporting by Estelle Shirbon)
