“I don’t know if my husband is alive or dead” – Nnamdi Kanu’s wife
Uchechi Kanu, wife of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said she is not aware of the whereabouts of her husband.
Uchechi says she is not sure if he is alive or dead.
Speaking to the Igbo service of BBC in London, she said that she believes that Kanu who is supposed to be standing trial for treason was in the custody of the Nigerian Army.
She stated that the last time she spoke with Kanu was when soldiers invaded his residence in Umuahia, Abia State last year.
She is quoted as saying: “The IPOB people are not sleeping. The army is going to tell them where their leader is. Keeping Nnamdi Kanu does not mean that IPOB is asleep.
“I don’t know where my husband is. If he is dead or alive, I don’t know. People that are supposed to answer these questions are the army.”
