Uchechi Kanu, wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Nigerian Army of knowing her husband’s whereabouts. She told the Igbo service of the BBC in London that the Army was holding him in custody. She stated that she was not aware if he was dead or alive.
She stated that the last time she spoke with Nnamdi Kanu was when soldiers invaded his residence in Umuahia, Abia State last year.
Oriental Times quoted her 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,” Uchechi said.
“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.
“The last time I saw him was when the army came to shoot in our house. He called me and asked if I was hearing the gunshots. I heard the gunshots and started shouting and asked him what was wrong.
“He said they are shooting and he is inside the house. That was the last time we spoke.”
