Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju revealed how Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of IPOB, allegedly frustrated the late President Muhammadu Buhari. In a post on X, Adeyanju stated, “The late Buhari was particularly angered by the rumor spread by Nnamdi Kanu claiming he had died. This led to a concerted effort to track him down in Kenya and his subsequent unlawful abduction. Throughout Buhari’s administration, I was arrested 11 times, imprisoned three times, and nearly killed in the streets, but it was never personal—just based on ideological differences. May his soul truly rest in peace in Jesus’ mighty name.” “And may God bring solace to his family.” In 2017, Buhari spent five months in London undergoing treatment for an undisclosed illness. During this time, Kanu alleged that Buhari had died and was substituted by an impostor named Jubril from Sudan. However, upon returning in 2018, the former president firmly asserted that he was alive, clarifying that he was not Jubril of Sudan.
