Nnamdi Kanu’s Son Pens Emotional Message As Wife Demands UK Intervention To Free IPOB Leader
Kanu’s wife, who made the statement in a post on her X account, said that the UK had always been the forebear of human rights and had a reputation for fairness, justice and championing human rights.
Mrs. Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, wife of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has again called on the United Kingdom government to intervene in securing the release of her husband, even as the IPOB leader’s son penned an emotional message.
Kanu’s wife, who made the statement in a post on her X account, said that the UK had always been the forebear of human rights and had a reputation for fairness, justice and championing human rights.
She however said it has become so sad to notice that despite the fact that the UK played an important role in producing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Second World War, recent governments have actively undermined the key legacy of their forebears.
She therefore called on the UK government to urgently intervene in her husband’s case and accelerate his release from detention by the Nigerian government.
She wrote, “Over the weekend, after football games and other activities, our little one’s homework caught my attention.
“He was asked to extend a bit on a poem about the uniqueness of one’s self.”
According to her, her son’s last paragraph read, “no matter how much people think they know about our pain, nobody can feel the way I feel about the absence of my daddy in my life. Nor the exact pain it is causing us.”
She said, “The UK is the forebears of Human Rights.The UK has always had a reputation for fairness, justice and for being a champion of human rights.
“They played an important role in producing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Second World War.
“Sadly, the recent governments have actively undermined this key legacy of their forebears.
“Help me push for the release of my husband, Nnamdi Kanu and other British citizens like him, who are in arbitrary detention and held hostage against their human rights.”

Kanu, who is being prosecuted for treason and terrorism by the Nigerian government, has been in the custody of the Department of the State Services (DSS) in Abuja since June 2021 after he was arrested in Kenya and renditioned to Nigeria.
