Simon Ekpa, Self-proclaimed disciple of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has ordered a Two-day total lockdown in the South-East states to call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Simon rose to prominence in July 2021, after he was announced as the lead broadcaster of Radio Biafra, but shortly after his appointment, IPOB announced his disengagement because of his refusal to sign the rules of engagement in the operation of the radio station.
However, the Finland-based Nigerian has repeatedly pledged allegiance to Kanu and support for Biafra agitation, despite leading a faction of the IPOB called “Autopilots”.
Ekpa on monday, in a tweet stressed that the entire land of “Biafra will be locked down on 23rd and 24th of January 2023 in protest” against the detention of the IPOB leader.
He tweeted, “Based on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s
current health condition, the Court of Appeal judgment discharging him, Umuahia court judgement and Gov Soludo’s recent call for his release, we are giving the FGN between now and 22nd of January 2023 to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Failure to do that, the entire land of Biafra will be locked down on 23rd and 24th of January 2023 in protest.”
Sahara Reporters,In December 2022, reported that thousands of Nigerians called for the arrest of Ekpa following the five-day sit-at-home order declared by him that led to the killing of some residents in the Southeast region.
The petitioners called on the Finnish government, Nigerian government and the European Union to arrest Ekpa, the brains behind the order.
