Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, has urged the Senate to march words with action in making sure that the Finland based bandit, Simon Ekpa face consequences of his action.
Recall that the Senate had asked the Federal Government to approach the Finnish Government to extradite Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Monday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, said what Ekpa was doing in the South-East was pure criminality and should be handled as such.
He said Simon Ekpa has finally been exposed as an agent of destabilisation in Igbo land.
Okwu said Ekpa’s rejection of an order from IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that everything about sit-at-home should be suspended, was another clear indication that he was an enemy of Ndigbo.
In the handwritten letter, which has gone viral, Kanu told Ekpa that the sit-at-home was doing more harm than good.
However, Ekpa has declared that he would not take such an order even if Kanu do a video himself, noting that he would only back down if the detained IPOB leader meets with him in Finland.
While reacting, Okwu said Ekpa was ready to take actions that would keep Kanu perpetually behind bars in order to continue the business empire he was running in the name of Biafra.
“We want to specifically thank the Senate for its resolution over the activities of Simon Ekpa who is being paid to destroy Igbo land.
“The decision of the Senate is long overdue. We applaud but ask that they should immediately match words with action. Simon Ekpa should be repatriated from Finland as quickly as possible.
“This is a matter of urgent importance; the Senate should prevail on the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu government to, in collaboration with the Finnish government, commence repatriation proceedings against Simon Ekpa,” Okwu said.
He equally hailed Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for all the steps he had taken so far to end the baseless sit-at-home.
The group noted that every well meaning residents of Enugu State should join hands with the government to salvage the situation.
He said it was not an issue that should be politicized, as it bothers on retrieving the state from criminals, gangsters and those earning pounds and dollars in the name of fighting for Biafra.
He lauded the government for the huge security presence in the State, urging the masses to “come out and freely; go about your normal business; Enugu State is now free from the grip of criminals.”
