The family of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has issued a 14-day ultimatum to Finland-based self-acclaimed discipline of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Mazi Simon Ekpa, to cease using the name or the image of Kanu in his broadcasts or fundraise.

The family also demanded that Ekpa should desist from making defamatory comments against members of the family.
Below is a full text of the letter entitled:
“A DEMAND TO CEASE ÅND DESIST FROM USING THE NAME OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU
