Mrs. Sarah Nwanyisunday Oparaocha, a 99-year-old woman, from Etitinabu Na Ndagbo in Afaraukwu, Abia State, has urged the Federal Government to grant freedom to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
Mrs Oparaocha made the appeal on Saturday while speaking with journalists at her residence in Afaraukwu, Kanu’s hometown.
The elderly woman, who spoke in Igbo interspersed with proverbs, said it was her ultimate wish to see Kanu return home while she is still alive.
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.”
Her appeal came on the same day members of the Afaraukwu community reportedly held a meeting to demand the release of their son.
While making her plea, Mrs Oparaocha also advised young people to embrace healthy living in order to attain longevity.
She encouraged the consumption of natural, native foods, warning that unhealthy diets could damage the body’s system.
