‘Let Me See Nnamdi Kanu Before I Die’ – 99-Year-Old Woman Begs Tinubu

A 99-year-old woman from Afaraukwu community in Abia State has made an emotional appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu.

Mrs. Sarah Nwanyisunday Oparaocha, who hails from Etitinabu Na Ndagbo in Afaraukwu, said her final wish in life is to see Kanu return to his hometown.

She made the plea during a community gathering where residents met to demand the release of their son and leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

The elderly woman spoke in Igbo language, using proverbs and strong emotions to express her pain. She said she prays every morning and cries to God for the freedom of Kanu.

“I will soon clock 100 years. I weep every morning during my prayers because of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

“I am pleading with the Nigerian government to release him so I can see him before God calls me.

“I am now 99 years old and will soon be 100 years but my prayers now is to see Nnamdi Kanu with my eyes before God will eventually call me.

“Nobody knows when God will call but I will be happy if I see Kanu before that time,” she said.

She also advised young people in the community to live wisely and eat natural foods. According to her, unhealthy eating habits could shorten life and damage the body system.

Community leaders present at the meeting said the continued detention of Kanu has brought sorrow to many families in Afaraukwu. They urged the Federal Government to consider his release in the interest of peace and unity.

The appeal was directed at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom residents believe has the power to intervene and resolve the issue politically.
