Uchechi, wife of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, gave birth to a baby boy at an undisclosed hospital on Tuesday.
The birth of Kanu’s child was announced in a message posted on the Facebook page of Radio Biafra London.
No further details were given about the whereabouts of the wife, but thousands of Kanu’s followers rejoiced with their leader in absentia.
The statement reads: “Good morning great Biafrans. With joy in our hearts and celebration of new arrival to IPOB family, our first lady, the wife of our eminent leader, Joshua Nnamdi Kanu, has delivered a healthy baby boy. Mother and child are in good health.”
Uchechi may have delivered the baby in the United Kingdom, which is Kanu’s last known location before he was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) operatives last October.
Kanu, who is founder of Radio Biafra, was arrested at a Lagos hotel after he allegedly sneaked into the country, using fake identity.
