The wife of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB), Mrs Uchechi Kanu, has revealed how the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, facilitated her visit to her husband at the DSS detention facility in Abuja.
She disclosed this during a live session on Radio Biafra on Sunday.
According to Uchechi Kanu, she visited her husband on April 16, after several denials by the officials of the secret police.
Recall that Nnamdi Kanu was renditioned from Kenya in 2021 after he was rearrested for allegedly jumping bail in 2017 when he fled the country during the infamous operation python dance at his Afara-Ukwu home in Umuahia.
While speaking during the live radio programme, Uchechi Kanu, who addressed some Igbo people living in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world, said she had several occasions denied access to her husband, until last month when she reached out to Senator Ubah, who immediately facilitated her visit.
Uchechi said she knows that a lot of Igbo elite are genuinely worried about the unlawful incarceration of her husband, and were working quietly to help him regain his freedom.

She said, “Let me use this opportunity to thank Senator Ifeanyi Ubah who moved swiftly to facilitate my visit to my husband in DSS custody. I thank you sir.
“I thank other Igbo politicians, governors and political office holders who are concerned about the plight of my husband. A lot of these elites are concerned about the unlawful detention of my husband, and are working silently to secure a round table discussion for his release. I’m thankful to them.”
Also, Senator Ubah confirmed to newsmen on Monday, when contacted, that he facilitated the visit of Mrs Kanu to her husband when he learnt that she was finding it difficult to visit him in detention.
He said, “Yes, she was in Nigeria and she approached me and told me that she needed to visit her husband, but was finding it difficult, so I immediately intervened. I visited her husband too with her in the company of Barr. Ejiofor. She met with her husband in the DSS facility on April 16.”
