Biography

RNA citizen from Camden NJ; wife of Offogga Quddus. One of three women among the RNA-11 (with Tamu Sana and Aisha Salim).

Obadele identifies Njeri as Offogga Quddus’s wife and one of the people at the residence. He reports a three-year federal sentence, with state charges still pending at the time of his account. Pending charges alone do not establish that she remained physically imprisoned. The narrative is a participant’s account of the RNA-11 prosecutions, and its political assessments are attributed to its author. Source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41065737#page=2

Custody research — September 2026

Obadele’s contemporary account dates the raid and arrests to August 18, 1971.

The reprinted RNA account reports a separate return to federal custody in December 1976 after unsuccessful appeals. No exact day or final release is established.
