In a video posted to his Instagram page, the actor stated that he went through the Lagos-Ibadan motorway without encountering any military or police checkpoints, as opposed to the South East highways.
According to Kanayo, commuters in Southeast cannot walk more than 200 meters without being harassed and humiliated at military or police checkpoints.
The movie actor questioned whether the increasing number of checkpoints is motivated by anger or disdain for South East indigenes.

“I left Felele Olorunshogo area of Ibadan this morning at about 7.15 and this is exactly 8.15 and I am in Lagos. I found out one thing. Over a distance of 80 kilometers, I didn’t see one checkpoint, one police checkpoint or an Army checkpoint, Have you ever plied the Onitsha/Enugu expressroad. Did you ever count the number of police checkpoints or military checkpoints on Enugu-Onitsha road?
“Why is the South East militarized and policed that you cannot go for more than 200 meters without a police checkpoint. I need to ask this question because the delay in journeys and humiliation people go through needs to be pointed out. The number of police checkpoints, collection points? They humiliate our people so badly that most times people in the vehicle are asked to come down and hands up? Is this hatred? Is this dislike? This is not good. Is the South East still part of Nigeria?”
