“I Will Stress You” – Nnamdi Kanu’s Wife Warns Over Husband’s Sudden Transfer to Sokoto Prison
Uchechi Okwu‑Kanu, wife of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, has sharply criticized the way her husband’s relocation to Sokoto prison was handled, days after he was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice James Omotosho.
She disclosed that she only received news of the transfer three hours ago, and expressed frustration at those who visited her husband but failed to inform her directly.
“Those who went to see him today did not give me any update on his transfer. Rather, they ran to social media to broadcast it,” she said.
Okwu‑Kanu issued a pointed warning to those she holds responsible:
“If you all do not sit up and behave in a civilised and professional manner, I will stress you with my ‘stress’ and I promise you, you will be stressed. Enough of your theatrics! Be warned!”
Her statement reflects both anger and concern over the lack of transparency surrounding Kanu’s transfer. The move has also raised fears about his wellbeing, access to legal counsel, and medical care, as he is now far from his usual support network..
