interview granted to the IBTimes UK speaks
about the detention of her husband.
Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, the wife of the controversial
director of Radio Biafra.
The woman expressed concern over the continued
custody of the Biafra leader.
She said: “Nnamdi is just a prisoner of
conscience. He has been held nearly for two
months already. He’s been held extra-
judicially. And that is not right.”
Mrs. Okwu-Kanu added that he is afraid of her
husband’s well-being and supposed he was being
tortured by the Nigerian state security service.

“He was obviously dying. And there was no
medical attention or anything like this, ” Kanu’s
wife added.
The woman said that she had been able to speak with
her husband only once since he was arraigned by the
DSS as he travelled to Nigeria from London in the
beginning of October.
She cautioned that Kanu’s health is worsening as he is
no longer able to take medicine for “ his life-
threatening ulcer”.
Okwu-Kanu defended her husband’s struggle for
independence and argued pro-Biafrans have the right to
self-determination.
“The man I saw was not my husband
anymore. He gradually becoming a ghost. So I
can feel his pain. If you know somebody,
when you look at him you see his pain ,” she
said.
Kanu’s wife also advised the Nigerian authorities to
release her husband and engage in dialogue rather than
arresting people “who agitate for freedom”
“Kanu must be released because he hasn’t
done anything wrong. This is a very very
serious case.”
In the last part of the interview Okwu-Kanu stated
that she needed her husband and mentioned about her
eight-old pregnancy, noting that it’s not public thing.
However, these claims could not be independently
confirmed at the time of publishing this report.
