According to his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu was subjected to torture and is currently suffering from a heart related ailment. Adeyanju wrote;

“Igbo leaders so afraid to speak up on the Nnamdi Kanu issue. Almost the entire North still standing with killer herdsmen.”

“Only Abaribe, Ortom & Wike have spoken up.”
