He added that the fear of whether or not he was still alive was extinguished by his health, wellbeing and appearance in court.

“If Kanu was not produced in court, Ndigbo were prepared to proceed for the 30days sit at home. But to God’s glory, that requested was granted by the federal government.
“We’re hopeful that the era of sit-at-home is over. What we’re demanding now is unconditional release of Kanu through a speedy and fair trial in tandem with the law provisions.
“Kanu’s appearance and health status and the smiles on his face has assuaged the minds and consciences of Ndigbo, such fear is extinguished by his health, wellbeing and appearance in court.

“I wonder how a mere statement can lead to the murder of such number of persons. I find it difficult to consede that mere statements are now bullets.
“But truth is all accused persons are not guilty or otherwise stated by a court of competent jurisdiction in tandem with due process. They’re mere allegations,” he added.
