Wife to Nnamdi Kanu, Uchechi Okwu-Kanu, the convicted leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, has reacted to the life sentence judgment slammed on her husband on Thursday by the federal high court.
Kanu’s wife maintained that a judge cannot ask a defendant to open a defense on terrorism related charges without reading out the written law under which the court is trying the person.
Uchechi alleged that the judge read a script handed over to him in sentencing Kanu to life imprisonment.
She also claimed that the judge could barely read out some of the words in his own very written judgment.
However, yesterday November 20th 2025, Justice James Omotosho handed down the judgment after delivering a landmark ruling in the trial of the IPOB leader.
