The pan Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has expressed great distaste as it also condemned the purported declaration by Simon Ekpa, as “Biafra Prime Minister” in exile.
A press statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro Secretary-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide described Simon Ekpa, a Finnish base as an enemy and a ready tool to destroy Igbo land.
He maintained that Ekpa was having a field day in orchestrating his plot from far away Finnish because both the Nigeria and Finnish governments had not taken proactive steps to ensure Ekpa is extradited
According to him, there are detailed reports of heightening terrorism from his(Ekpa) Finnish base, including reports from a Finnish journalist, who was in Enugu this February to personally interview families of victims of his terror attacks, which he boldly affirmed on Finnish Television, which was presented to the Finnish Government.
“Ndigbo has rebutted and renounced in strong terms the formation of a purported Biafra government in Exile, by Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa who is seen as the greatest enemy of Ndigbo in the last 200 years and one of the most dangerous terrorists in Africa and operating from Finland.
“If the Nigerian Government fails to check this ugly development, Ekpa’s game-plan is to plunge Nigeria into another undeserved Civil War. Ndigbo is now given a standing order to capture Ekpa dead or alive.
“He must not be allowed to escape justice as the leader of the most dreadful killer squad in the Southeast whose sole aim is to destabilize the Southeast with his satanic agenda of leading another Civil War against Nigeria.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Ndigbo can never be pushed into fighting another war, regardless of the provocations of Ekpa and his paymasters who surprisingly are hurt by the ongoing fraternity existing between Ndigbo and their Yoruba siblings .
“From declaring a 5 Day sit-at-home in the Southeast during the presidential election to the declaration of Sit-at-home in Lagos, Ekpa has only one agenda- the destruction of Igboland, to fulfill his paymaster’s political ambitions.
“Indeed, his latest drama is aimed at distracting the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate from the pursuit of his Pan-Nigerian mandate at the election tribunal by questioning his belief in Nigeria.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges the Nigerian and Finnish governments to delay no further in extraditing him to come back to Nigeria and face prosecution for crimes against humanity. That is the only thing that will be a deterrent to Ekpa and his co-travelers”, he stated.
