According to DAILY POST, recent US military airstrikes in Sokoto have raised concerns about the safety of the convicted secessionist.
Many Nigerians have urged for Kanu's immediate transfer from the Sokoto correctional facility to ensure his safety.
However, in a post on his official X account on Friday, Bashir argued that Kanu is also a terrorist, similar to those being targeted by the US military.
