The wife of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu has shared details about his kidnapping years ago. Uchechigeme Anyanwuotu Okwu-Kanu posted online that her husband was taken by force in 2009. She identified those responsible as followers of Ralph Uwazuruike, who leads the MASSOB group. The abduction happened at their family square on the exact day planned for their traditional wedding ceremony.
She claimed the men working for Uwazuruike attacked and publicly shamed Kanu during the event. His supposed crime involved speaking out against what she called the commercial misuse of the Biafran movement. This included selling items like passports, license plates, and planned currency purely for monetary gain.
Okwu-Kanu described these past events as part of a larger, ongoing fight for their people's future. She framed their personal suffering as a sacrifice within that struggle. Ending her statement, she expressed a belief that time itself would eventually secure her husband's freedom.
