Ekpa Claims Nnamdi Kanu’s Alleged Letter Is Fake
Simon Ekpa, a well-known Biafra agitator and separatist leader, has recently called on the Igbo community to disregard circulating reports concerning an alleged letter from Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Ekpa, who is a lawyer based in Finland and claims to be the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government, made this declaration on Friday.
Earlier, it was reported by WithinNigeria that Nnamdi Kanu had expressed his views on the disruptive sit-at-home protests in the beleaguered South-East region.
In response to the situation, the embattled leader of the secessionist group specifically urged Simon Ekpa to halt all sit-at-home activities in the area. Furthermore, Kanu instructed Ekpa to refrain from issuing counter-orders to those given by the governors of the South-East or politicians from the region.
Kanu distanced himself from the sit-at-home protests and the ensuing wave of violence, cautioning that anyone enforcing such actions in the South-East is not a true follower of his cause and should face legal consequences.
However, Simon Ekpa refuted the authenticity of the letter, stating that it is a fabrication created by mischief-makers who oppose the liberation of Biafra. According to him, there are forces at work trying to hinder Biafra’s quest for independence.
Reiterating his call for the release of Kanu to ensure lasting peace in the southeast, he said: “Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by Nigerian media claiming that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote a letter. It is not only a joke but an insult taken too far that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra is being misrepresented in this way. As the Prime Minister of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS.”
