Kanu tweeted, “Thank you @ChrisCoons, Senator Menendez, SenSchumer and Senator Booker.

“Dictator @Mbuhari govt. ordered the release of Sowore and Dasuki . Your letter to the Attorney-General of Nigeria was only need [for their release].

“It shows that good people in the US can save lives if to choose to.”
