The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has confirmed the authenticity of the handwritten note of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, penned to Simon Ekpa, whom it referred to as “the Finland infiltrator and crime minister”.
In the letter, Nnamdi Kanu had warned Ekpa to end his infamous and reckless sit-at-homes.

Reacting to the letter, the Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful noted that it is pertinent to make the message disassociating Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB from the senseless enforcement of sit-at-home public to avoid consequences on innocent citizens.
In a press release entitled “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu disassociates himself and IPOB from infiltrators and senseless sit-at-homes via handwritten note”, the IPOB scribe stated:
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in his wisdom, communicated the message to the infiltrators through the right channel and a source they should trust.
“The claims that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s handwritten note is fake is part of their mischief to continue in their contract to blackmail IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with the violent enforcement of the infamous sit-at-homes used to terrorise our people.
“We understand that a power drunk crime Minister with his inconsequential kangaroo de facto government in exile will ignore the order for the fear of deflating his over-bloated ego.”
According to Emma Powerful, IPOB leadership initiated the Monday sit-at-home in protest of the abduction and rendition of Nnamdi Kanu and to make sure that the Nigeria government arraigned him openly, in a public court where he could be seen.
He noted that Kanu instructed that it be suspended so as not to torture the people which the IPOB hierarchy obeyed, and the sit-at-home order was suspended, in line with the principle of command and control.
However, he regretted, “infiltrators who don’t believe in the principle of command and control, which is a core value of IPOB, ignored the order from our leader.
“These infiltrators working alongside the Nigeria government contracted agent provocateurs’ violent enforcement of reckless sit-at-homes has escalated insecurity in Biafra Land,” he added.
He recalled that Nnamdi Kanu sent the messages through his visitors at DSS dungeon to the infiltrators to stop the reckless sit-at-home several times, all to no avail.
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe tabled the message in the red chamber of the senate what the IPOB leader told them when they visited him in the DSS custody with Ohaneze Ndigbo delegates in the DSS headquarters Abuja.
“When our leader called for complete peace in Biafra Land and to protect our people instead of killing them in one of his court appearances, he was referring to the infiltrators to stop their infamous enforcement of sit-at-home orders and enforcement.
“That call went on deaf ears. This last message in his handwriting is the last straw.
“Every Biafran must understand the importance of this letter. If you are a lover of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, you must listen to him.
“Moreso, we must stop giving credence to the enemy of Ndigbo and Biafrans claiming to be Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple but has gone ahead to make himself a Prime Minister while his supposed leader is in solitary detention.
“Every Biafran must stop observing any sit-at-home order from the infiltrators.
“The reckless enforcement and abuse of sit-at-homes is an opportunity for criminals to kidnap, murder, maim, and snatch cars from innocent citizens.
“These government sponsored criminality and violent enforcement of sit-at-home have endangered the lives of our people through invasion of murderous and over-zealous Nigeria Security Agents.
“The note from our leader disassociating himself and IPOB from the infamous sit-at-homes are being distributed to all Nigeria Security Agencies, all foreign Embassies in Abuja, and to the contractors of the infiltrators for their notice,” he added. Read more.
