Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, the wife of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has said that her husband will never renounce Biafra, adding that anyone who thinks he will is “certifiably insane”.
Okwu-Kanu, while speaking with IBTimes UK, said that the recent allegations against her husband Nnamdi Kanu were incorrect and insulting.
Kanu is standing trial on six counts of treasonable felony charges in Nigeria. He was arrested in Lagos in October 2015 on conspiracy and terrorism charges.

She said, “Anybody thinking that my husband will renounce Biafra is certifiably insane.
On reports that the Emancipation of Niger Delta (Mend) militant group was negotiating with the federal government on the possible release of Kanu, Okwu-Kanu said that Mend does not speak for her husband.
“This type of news as distressing as it is, is laughable because no group can postulate what my husband can or cannot do or say. This is not only an insult to our belief but also a despoliation of our rights as a people perpetrated by dishonourable minds,” she said.
“It is now apparent that the charges against my husband are politically motivated and not a judicial process as President Buhari would have the world believe,” Okwu-Kanu continued.

“This singular act of tyranny and injustice against my husband amongst others is reprehensible to every reasonable mind and is one of the critical reasons for the emergence of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) who have in their quest, consistently called for the release of my husband which President Buhari has underplayed.
“Subsequently, Nnamdi Kanu should be present at any negotiations and I can refer President Buhari to F.W. de Klerk of South Africa on how to negotiate with a freedom fighter,” she added.
