Uchechi, wife of the embattled Director of Radio Biafra and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, on Tuesday, reportedly gave birth to a baby boy at an undisclosed hospital.
The birth of Kanu’s child was announced in a message posted on the Facebook page of Radio Biafra London.
The statement read: “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.

In excitement, members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) have responded to the news of the birth of a son for their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, saying he’ll bring them freedom.
