A social media post has stirred widespread discussion after a user on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that a Muslim man abandoned Islam and converted to Christianity because of his admiration for the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The claim was made by an X user identified as Nikky Agnes, who shared the man’s alleged public declaration.
In her post, Agnes stated that the man credited Kanu’s courage, teachings and perceived truthfulness for his decision.
According to the viral post, the man reportedly said:
“Because of Nnamdi Kanu, I am converting to Christianity. Because of him, I finally understand what it means to be a true human being. After Allah, Nnamdi Kanu comes first.
He was also quoted as saying:
“I have never in my life seen anyone who speaks the truth the way Nnamdi Kanu does — and still ends up in jail simply because he stood by what he believed about Biafra.”
The post further claimed that the man described Kanu’s warnings as fulfilled, stating:
“Everything he warned Nigeria about is happening today. Every prophecy, every truth, every warning — it has all come to pass.
”Agnes added that the man hailed Kanu as “a voice of freedom” and “the greatest of his generation.
”The claim has generated strong reactions across social media, with many users questioning its authenticity, while others argued that it reflects Kanu’s enduring influence despite his prolonged detention.
