Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Mrs. Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, wife of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has urged the United Kingdom, UK, government to prevail on its Nigerian counterpart to release her husband.<\/p>\n

Uchechi disclosed that Kanu\u2019s absence is having an effect on their son\u2019s life and it\u2019s causing him pain.<\/p>\n

She noted that the UK has always been the forebear of human rights and had a reputation for fairness, justice and championing human rights.<\/p>\n

Uchechi urged the UK government to urgently intervene in her husband\u2019s case and accelerate his release from detention by the Nigerian government.<\/p>\n

She wrote, \u201cOver the weekend, after football games and other activities, our little one\u2019s homework caught my attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was asked to extend a bit on a poem about the uniqueness of one\u2019s self.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uchechi said her son\u2019s last paragraph read: \u201cno matter how much people think they know about our pain, nobody can feel the way I feel about the absence of my daddy in my life. Nor the exact pain it is causing us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK is the forebears of Human Rights. The UK has always had a reputation for fairness, justice and for being a champion of human rights.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey played an important role in producing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Second World War.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, the recent governments have actively undermined this key legacy of their forebears.<\/p>\n

\u201cHelp me push for the release of my husband, Nnamdi Kanu and other British citizens like him, who are in arbitrary detention and held hostage against their human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kanu has been detained since June 2021 when he was rearrested in Kenya and subjected to extraordinary rendition.<\/p>\n
