The Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has placed a $50, 000 bounty on Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, in a statement declared the Finland-based Ekpa the number one enemy of the Igbo nation, hence the people of the Southeast should ignore his Monday and Tuesday sit-at-home order.
However, Ohanaeze urged Southeast governors to declare Monday and Tuesday public holidays to allow people of the Southeast to get their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs.
Isiguzoro urged the Southeast Governors to emulate the wisdom of the Abia State Government to declare public holidays on the same days for the people to go out and get their PVCs before the deadline on 29th of January 2023.
“Ndigbo has placed a bounty reward of $50, 000 for anyone who has useful information on how Simon Ekpa will be apprehended for his extradition and prosecution in Nigeria, to answer the law of land over his criminalities, incitement of violent killings, and, burning of public properties in the name of self-determination.”
Ohanaeze urged Igbos residents in Finland to report Ekpa to INTERPOL to aid his arrest.
“Ndigbo should know that Simon Ekpa will never return to Southeast again in the future and Igbo residents in Finland who had earlier disowned his actions and activities should aid the Nigerian Government and INTERPOL to arrest Simon Ekpa in other to stabilise the southeast and rescue the zone from the nefarious activities of his gang members masquerading as biafra agitators, who are interested in killing people and burning the public buildings.
“The tasks to preserve and rescue the Southeast should begin with the help of all Igbos in the diaspora and at home, to assist in the arrest of the worsening security challenges, dwindling of the economic and social activities caused by Ekpa’s rantings and illegal sit-at-home.
“Ndigbo has declared Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa on this day 23rd of January 2023 as the number one adversary and enemy of Ndigbo, who Ndigbo had caught sight of in the last 200 years,” he added.
