Wife of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, Uchechi, has laughed at reports about filing for a divorce while her husband is serving a life imprisonment sentence.
Reports emerged online that Uchechi filed for a divorce following years of alleged infidelity, financial neglect, and intense interference by Kanu’s family members.
According to reports, prior to his high-profile arrest in 2015, Kanu was involved with a woman named Chioma Amaryllis Ahaghotu, whom he met in 2014.
Chioma, who reportedly believed Kanu was single at the time, allegedly bankrolled him with thousands of dollars before walking away after discovering his pattern of lies and exploitation.
The reports claimed that Uchechi, who married the IPOB leader in 2009, had endured over a decade of emotional strain caused by Kanu’s alleged promiscuous lifestyle and multiple extramarital affairs.
Reacting to the reports on her 𝕏 handle, Uchechi shared laughing emojis, stating that she had just learned she had filed for divorce from her husband.
Posting on her verified X handle, she wrote: “Good conscious evening, my blessed Biafrans. I have just learned that I filed for Divorce while my husband is in prison 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.”
Meanwhile, Kanu is currently serving a life imprisonment sentence at the Sokoto Custodial Centre after being convicted of terrorism following his agitation for Biafra.
Uchechi, my Baby Sis! I’m so very proud of you. You represent Biafrans and especially your family well. Ndi Amawom, Ndi Oboro La Ndi Ikwuano are very proud of you, Nwa Oma! Ndewo!!!
