The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Most Rev. Matthew Hassan Kukah, visited Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), at the Sokoto Correctional Centre
Former African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore praised the visit on Thursday, describing it as a gesture of solidarity.
“Thank you so much, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, for taking the time to visit Mazi Nnamdi Kanu today. As the distinguished Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, your visitation symbolizes your solidarity & that of Sokoto Diocese with #MNK in this time of distress,” Sowore said.
Kanu was convicted on terrorism charges by the Federal High Court in Abuja on November 20, 2025, and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was moved to the Sokoto Custodial Centre the following day, in line with a court directive that excluded Kuje Prison, where he had previously been held.
