Prior to this time, Simon was a hater of Ndigbo and particularly IPOB in Finland. IPOB members in Finland will attest to this.<\/p>\n<p>Simon Ekpa is the exclusive project of Nigerian DSS, to create a situation of unrest and hostilities in the South East which the end product was to destroy the image of IPOB.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the statement, if it was not so, the federal government would have taken certain steps to arrest his activities in the zone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It stated;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Why is Nigeria government not making any effort to diplomatically engage Finnish Government about visible hostilities of Ekpa? Why did Nigeria suppress the Legal Investigation of Ekpa in Finland, also his court cases in Nigeria?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the statement, if the federal government was serious about putting an end to Ekpa&#8217;s misbehaviour in the zone, it would have directed DSS to allow Kanu to address his followers via his social media channels.<\/p>\n<p>It also urged its members to disregard Ekpa while challenging him to serve orders to IPOB members without using Kanu&#8217;s name and see if anyone would listen to him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IPOB
