In an exclusive interview with The Authority, the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu's younger brother, Prince Fineboy Kanu, has said that his brother remains in high spirits, adding that he personally handles Kanu’s welfare issues, especially his feeding at the Kuje Medium Prison in Abuja because the IPOB leader does not eat the state’s food.
When asked if it was Kanu’s safety that informed the family’s handling of his meals, Fine-boy said it was because 'the prison authorities cannot prepare the food' that his brother desires at any point in time.
The younger Kanu who disclosed that he relocated to Abuja to specifically cater for the domestic needs of his elder brother while in prison, added that he visits the prison daily with his basket of food which covers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Narrating how he takes food to his brother in detention, Prince Kanu said
Quote
: "There is a process that you have to go through even when you bring the food for him; beginning from the first security at the gate, the second, the third one before you get to the last place which is the Holding Centre.
"Of course, when you arrive, you will be asked to open the food. The prison officials would look through the food and compel you to taste the food before it can be given to him, and that is the normal procedure."
He disclosed that when he eventually gets to the final place (the fourth point), he usually meets his brother in what is called the 'common room' just like the university common room. "It is at this point that I drop the food for him to eat,"

Prince Kanu, who described his brother’s incarceration at the Kuje Prison as pathetic, said that 'Kanu remains highly-spirited and determined,' adding that the IPOB leader is denied access to newspapers as well as any other channels of mass communication since his arrest and subsequent detention.
Quote
"Nnamdi told me that the prison authorities don’t allow him to read newspapers. This is somebody who is already in detention; of course, he comes to court whenever he is needed. What stops the authorities from allowing him to read newspapers? Why won’t they allow him to read the newspapers? What has reading got to do with his detention?"
Prince Kanu queried.When asked how Kanu received the news when his wife gave birth to their child, he disclosed that he (Prince Kanu) broke the good news to him at the courtroom and he was elated. He said his brother did not however christen the baby, probably because he is yet to see the baby.
He also said that his father, His Royal Majesty Eze Kanu and mother are missing their son, Nnamdi, but have taken it in their strides with equanimity.
The much publicized political activist who is also the Director of Radio Biafra, has been in detention since October 14, 2015, when he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) upon his arrival in Nigeria from his base in the United Kingdom (UK).
Kanu and his co-defendants are on trial by the Federal Government for treasonable felony, an offence punishable under Section 41(C) of the Criminal Code Act, CAP C38 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria.
