The incarcerated leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has mourned the demise of prominent Igbo leaders who passed away recently.

This was made known by Kanu’s lawyer, Alloy Ejimakor who posted the condolences message on X.com.

He wrote;

Today, MAZI NNAMDI KANU directed me to convey his heartfelt sympathies to the families of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Senator Ifeanyi Uba and Dame Onyeka Onwenu.

#MNK is pained at their demise and as he mourns, he sends his comfort to #Ndigbo and requests that none should speak ill of the departed, as such is repugnant to Igbo traditions. He sees these deaths to be too many in so short a time and calls for prayers to avert too many deaths from the land.

Onyeka Onwenu in particular was very close to Onyendu, who found her private advice to be invaluable. MNK recalls that Onyeka was a firm believer in freedom and that she lived a fulfilled life that guaranteed her a rest in heaven.
