Growing concerns from activists and commentators suggest that any large-scale foreign military operation against terrorist groups in northern Nigeria  including hypothetical U.S.-led counter-terror missions could put detained IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu at risk due to his alleged transfer to a northern facility.

While official U.S. plan to bomb terrorist hideouts has been announced by US, analysts warn that any intensified foreign intervention in conflict zones could have collateral implications for detainees especially IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu held in northern correctional centre.

Human rights advocates argue that the Nigerian government must ensure: The exact facility where Kanu is being held is publicly clarified and his health and safety are guaranteed. The Analyst also begged FG to transfer Nnamdi Kanu to any prison in Southern Nigeria to ensure his maximum protection.
