The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rubbished Simon Ekpa, self-acclaimed disciple of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
The statement read in part:
“We have also commended our people for protesting the murder of the innocent youths. We have ways of dealing with enemies in our territories without putting more pains on our people who are already under the pains that military siege of Nigeria Government have caused them.
“We therefore urge our people to ignore the meaningless and senseless order from a Nigerian agent to sit at home today.”
Powerful noted that Ekpa had even “boasted in one of his broadcasts to end IPOB leadership. He pretends to be Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disciple but his actions and words betray him as a Judas who sold his Master for pieces of silver.
“Have you wondered why Lai Mohammed, Lauretta Onochie, Ike Ekweremadu, Nyesom Wike, Hope Uzodinma direct media attacks on IPOB-ESN over the activities of criminal boys under the command of Finland blogger called Simon Ekpa? Simon’s boys create insecurities in the East while the Government agents blame it on IPOB-ESN but never mentioned Simon Ekpa. This is how all the funds allocated to destroy IPOB and Radio Biafra by these dissidents were being utilised.
“What this criminal does in the society is to commit incriminating and prosecutable activities and show evidence that favours certain people like his sponsors while our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still being held in the DSS custody and facility. Ask yourself if a criminal can steal and leave his address with his victims? This is what the Simon’s boys do, kidnap and threaten people with ESN’s name.
“We do hereby strongly reiterate once again that Simon Ekpa is not IPOB member, not IPOB or Biafra spokesman, not a family member of IPOB in any family unit in Finland and has never remitted a dime from his monthly fundraising to Eastern Security Network (ESN).
“We therefore, advise Simon Ekpa and his miserable sponsors not to continue hiding under the name IPOB, ESN and commit all manner of crimes.
“Simon’s Ekpa has no mandate to issue a sit at home order using IPOB. Therefore our people must ignore such senseless Infiltrator’s ranting and go about your normal business.
