Breaking News: “If my grandfather is older than Nigeria, then what was the name of this land before the British came? We want to know our real roots,” some Hausa inmates reportedly said inside the Sokoto detention facility where Nnamdi Kanu are held.
According to sources within the facility, a group of northern inmates began raising historical questions after a heated discussion about identity, colonization, and the pre-colonial history of the region.
One of the prisoners was quoted saying:
“They told us Nigeria was created in 1914. So if our ancestors lived long before that, what exactly were we called? We want clarity, we want truth.”
Another inmate added:
“People keep talking about unity, but unity starts with knowing who we were before the British joined everyone together.”
