Uchechi Ukwu, the wife of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has reacted to the recent statement by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Wike expressed his readiness to testify as a witness in Kanu’s ongoing terrorism trial if subpoenaed by the court.
In response, Uchechi Ukwu posted on X (formerly Twitter):
“Of course. That is the process we expect from the court. #FreeNnamdiKanu”
Her statement reflects the family’s trust in the judicial process while continuing to advocate for Kanu’s release.
Nnamdi Kanu faces terrorism-related charges before the Federal High Court in Abuja, and his legal team has listed several high-profile Nigerians, including Wike, as potential witnesses in his defense.
The involvement of such prominent figures adds a new dimension to the case, highlighting the intersection of politics and law in Nigeria.
This development follows the arrest and remand of Kanu’s brother, his lawyer, and other supporters during the peaceful #FreeNnamdiKanu protest in Abuja.
As the trial unfolds, all eyes remain on the courtroom. Uchechi Ukwu’s reaction underscores the family’s commitment to justice while reflecting the broader political and social significance of the case.
Citizens and international observers are closely watching, anticipating how high-profile testimonies might influence the outcome.
