I Will Not Sleep Until I See My Hubby – Kanu’s Wife Cries Out

Mixed feelings trail the supposed release of the Radio Biafra director Nnamdi Kanu as the controversial leader of the IPOB was absence in court.

While most of the supporters reacted with joy when the court ordered the immediate and unconditional release of Kanu, many others expressed concern as the Biafra leader was not in court at the time of the ruling.

Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, Kanu’s wife, told IBTimes UK: “He has been released unconditionally but he was not brought to court. What have they done with my husband? I will wait till he’s been seen. I am only worried at the rate the DSS is evading his presence to the public. I am now putting in a motion to look into his state of health asap as his life is in danger.”

On his own part, Mazi Mmaduabuchi Anyagulu, a member of IPOB, said: “Yes, he has been granted an unconditional release by the federal high court. We await his arrival, until then, we can’t rejoice.

“Kanu may have been acquitted of all charges levelled against him by the Nigeria DSS, which may decide to detain our leader against the orders of the court. Therefore, I cannot be joyful until I hear his voice over the radio again.”

Some others noted that a number of leaders supporting the independence of Biafra are still in custody and that the Biafra movement will not stop until independence is reached.

Yahgozie Immanuel, editor of Biafra24, said: “I am happy Kanu is being released, but what about charges against Benjamin Onwuka, leader of the Biafra Zionist Movement?”

Onwuka was arraigned in 2014 after trying to carry out an attack on the State Broadcasting Service in Enugu state.
