EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a statement on Thursday, Uchechi highlighted the emotional toll Kanu’s absence has taken on their son, emphasizing that it is causing him significant distress.
She appealed to the UK government, known for its commitment to human rights, fairness, and justice, to intervene and expedite Kanu’s release from detention.
She wrote, “Over the weekend, after football games and other activities, our little one’s homework caught my attention.
“He was asked to extend a bit on a poem about the uniqueness of one’s self.”
“My son’s last paragraph read, no matter how much people think they know about our pain, nobody can feel the way I feel about the absence of my daddy in my life. Nor the exact pain it is causing us.
“The UK is the forebears of Human Rights. The UK has always had a reputation for fairness, justice and for being a champion of human rights.
“They played an important role in producing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights after the Second World War.
“Sadly, the recent governments have actively undermined this key legacy of their forebears.
“Help me push for the release of my husband, Nnamdi Kanu and other British citizens like him, who are in arbitrary detention and held hostage against their human rights.”
