personal life
Nkem Owoh’s parents are from Udi, where he was born, but not much is known about them. He has an elder brother named Bartholomew Owoh. He is still alive, and contrary to the mere searches, no funeral has been held for him.
Unfortunately, General Muhammadu Buhari ordered the execution of Bartholomew Owo and two other Nigerian youths for drug trafficking. The three Nigerian youths were executed in public by firing squad.
Nkem Owo married Ngozi Nkem Owo in 1998. They have two daughters. Ngozi Nkem Owo wishes to stay out of the public eye.
