Activists and human rights’ organizations in Nigeria have heightened calls for the arrest of Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa following his allegations against Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State....CONTINUE READING
One of the activists, Ben Mark also charged the federal government and the Nigerian Army to make sure Ekpa is repatriated to answer for his crimes in Nigeria.
Jerry Dickson lamented Ekpa’s fiery rhetorics, saying he is heating up the polity with lies about the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government.
Ben’s message comes after the Finland-based Biafra agitator made a far-fetched allegation against Governor Uzodinma whom he accused of hatching plans to remove President Bola Tinubu from office.
On his verified X page, Ekpa claimed the governor is plotting a coup with soldiers and northerners, and it will lead to President Tinubu’s death.
This is the second time the Biafra agitator is drawing the attention of Nigerians to his far-fetched ‘coup claims’.
Last week, reports said Simon Ekpa’s fighters resorted to using ‘juju charms’ in their agitation for Biafra.
They were captured on camera placing President Bola Tinubu’s picture in a calabash pot.
The Finland-based Biafra agitator shared a photo and video of his fighters with the calabash pot after setting ablaze a police vehicle in Uli community in the South- East.
Reports say two policemen were killed during the tragic incident. It was also gathered that Ekpa’ s men did some incantations with the President’s picture and the calabash pot, conjuring him to grant their wish.
The sad incident which happened on Monday comes in the middle of calls for Simon Ekpa to be extradited to Nigeria and punished for his atrocities in the South East.
Recall that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio- political organization had urged the Attorney General of the Federation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure that Ekpa is extradited to Nigeria and punished for his atrocities.
Ekpa increased his campaigns after June 2021 re- arrest and repatriation of Nnamdi Kanu, founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Security and intelligence service have linked the kidnapping and murders in the South East to Ekpa’ s speeches.
However, Isiguzoro described Ekpa as an international terrorist who should be punished.
