A 99-year-old woman, Mrs. Sarah Nwanyisunday Oparaocha, from Etitinabu Na Ndagbo in Afaraukwu, Abia State, has appealed to the Federal Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking to journalists at her residence in Afaraukwu, Kanu’s hometown, the elderly woman expressed her heartfelt desire to see him return home while she is still alive.
According to her, it would be a great personal fulfillment to witness his presence in the community again.
Her appeal coincided with a meeting reportedly held by members of the community, who also called for Kanu’s release.
Addressing reporters in Igbo, laced with proverbs, Mrs. Oparaocha said she prays daily for God to touch the hearts of Nigeria’s leaders to allow Kanu reunite with his people.
She said :
“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.
