Uchechi, the wife of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has paid a visit to the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in custody of the Department of State Services, DSS.

She disclosed that her visit to Kanu in DSS custody was facilitated by Anambra South Senator, Ifeanyi Ubah.

Kanu had been in the custody of DSS since 2021, after he was renditioned from Kenya.

Before her visit, it was gathered that Mrs Kanu had been repeatedly denied access to her husband.

Addressing IPOB members on radio in the United Kingdom on Sunday, Uchechi commended Ubah for facilitating the visit.

She said: “Let me use this opportunity to thank Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who moved swiftly to facilitate my visit to my husband in DSS custody. I thank you, sir.

“I thank other Igbo politicians, governors, and political office holders who are concerned about the plight of my husband.

“A lot of these elites are concerned about the unlawful detention of my husband, and are working silently to secure a round table discussion for his release. I’m thankful to them.”
