Detained Nnamdi Kanu welcomes baby boy
Since his arrest on October 14, 2015, Tuesday will probably be the most exciting day for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as his wife, Uchechi Kanu, was delivered of a baby boy.
The report of the latest addition to Kanu’s family was announced in a message posted on the Facebook page of IPOB.
“Good morning great Biafrans. With joy in our hearts and celebration of new arrival to IPOB family, our first lady, the wife of our eminent leader, Joshua Nnamdi Kanu, has delivered a healthy baby boy. Mother and child are in good health,” the message read.
The location of the birth was not disclosed, but it is believed to be the United Kingdom, where Kanu was based before his arrest.
A native of Isiama Afara in Abia state, Kanu attended the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) but completed his degree in the UK.
Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) apprehended him at his hotel room in Lagos.
His arrest has sparked mass protests across the south-east, parts of the south-south and recently Lagos in the south-west.
He is being accused of sponsoring terrorism and belonging to an unlawful group.
