Wife of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Uchechigeme Okwu-Kanu has confirmed that she recently had a surgery.
In a post on her official Facebook page on Friday, Uchechi, who was campaigning for her husband’s release, said she is recovering from a major surgery.
She alleged that her husband who is facing terrorism charge is being detained “unjustly and illegally”. 
She wrote, “While I am yet to recover from major surgery, I continue to rise in pain because there is work to be done.
“My husband, #NnamdiKanu remains unjustly and illegally detained, and silence is not an option.
This is showing our spirits refusing to be broken. From Trafalgar Square to Downing Street, we carry the cry of freedom.
“Injustice to one, is injustice to all.
Join us tomorrow 01.11.2025 at Trafalgar Square”.
DAILY POST reports that Kanu, who was rearrested in 2021 over his involvement in the separatist movement, has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS
