Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has criticised her husband’s legal consultants for failing to brief her on his transfer to Sokoto prison.
On Thursday, a federal high court in Abuja sentenced the
IPOB leader to life imprisonment.
Aloy Ejimakor, counsel to Kanu, announced on Friday that
Kanu has been transferred to a correctional centre in Sokoto following his
conviction.
“MAZI NNAMDI KANU has just been moved from DSS Abuja to the
correctional facility (prison) in Sokoto; so far away from his lawyers, family,
loved ones and wellwishers,” the lawyer wrote on X.
In response, Okwu-Kanu said she received information about
“three hours ago” that her husband had arrived at the facility.
She said certain persons who visited him earlier in the day
did not inform her of the development.
She said the lawyers instead “ran to social media to
broadcast it”.
Okwu-Kanu said the behaviour was unprofessional and
unacceptable.
“If you all do not sit up and behave in a civilised and
professional manner, I will stress you with my ‘stress’ and I promise you, you
will be stressed,” she wrote.
“Enough of your theatrics! Be warned!”
Meanwhile, Enyinnaya Abaribe, senator representing Abia
south, says the life sentence handed to Kanu was not surprising.
Abaribe said the federal government’s refusal to extend
amnesty to Kanu, unlike other groups, made the outcome inevitable.
