Eze Israel Kanu, father of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has passed away, four months after his mother, Ugoeze Sally Kanu died.

The Abia State commissioner for information, John Okiyi Kalu, described the news as a rude shock and exalted his sterling contributions to the development of his community.

“It was with rude shock that we learnt of the passing on of one of our great royal fathers, HRM Eze Sir I.O. Kanu, the Egwu Ukwu II of Afaraukwu Ibeku, at the age of 86 years.

“His unwavering love and sterling contributions to the development of his community in particular, and Abia State in general are well documented. No doubt, HRM left a lasting legacy and an indelible impression on the minds of Ndigbo everywhere in the world.

“Death is not the end of man but a necessary passage to a better place in eternity where there is no strife, sorrow or pain. Indeed, Papa has only gone to that better place.

“This should be our consolation so that his beloved family and the community he left behind do not continue to weep since we all know that he is resting peacefully now.

“As a government, we assure the family of late Eze Sir I.O. Kanu and Afaraukwu community of our continued support in all ways we can to help ameliorate the pains of his departure,” Kalu said

Not again. RIP to the monarch

Unfortunate loss. God, console the family.

This is a time for Nnamdi Kanu to show he is not a useless chest beater...

If I were him, I would take the next available flight down to Nigeria .... It will be a very big respect for his dad after all, Nnamdi was over 40 years old and still living under his father's roof.

Old news you know

Old news you know because the information was hidden he died a week after the death of his wife.

A difficult time for the Kanus indeed. I hope this era would be a part of the greater story to tell in future. May the soul of Eze Kanu rest in peace.

cownu need not worry,IPOB online chest beating miscreants would without doubt ensure he gives his dad a befitting diaspora burial via live video streaming.
