Abuja, Nigeria – Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, yesterday, said the factional leader of IPOB, Simon Ekpa, is a new bandit leading terrorists to destabilise and killed people of the South-East region.

Umahi made this known while speaking in Abakaliki capital of Ebonyi State to stakeholders during elder/widows convention.

He said that currently the Biafran agitation, has gone beyond the control of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

“When this agitation for Biafra started, I told them that this matter will go beyond Nnamdi Kanu. And today, it has gone beyond Nnamdi KANU. Every criminal says he is ESN.

“Now, we have bandit they call Simon Ekpa. Is this the Biafra we desired? To be killing ourselves and displacing others. That’s why we said in the heat of that crisis that Ebonyi State can never be part of Biafra. We are not Biafra.

“If Biafra is to be killing ourselves, to go to the market and start shooting people, to the people that have done nothing. To be declaring Sit-at-home, in our home land and destroying the economy. For what reason? This things are strange to our culture.

“We have phones, and we call our people to call us on phone and tell us where this people are. The Police and Ebubeagu security outfit are on ground. I warn the politicians, who use these boys. They are the ones that go to court to sue Ebubeagu. They go to national television to condemn Ebubeagu.

“They have killed a lot of Ebubeagu people, who are trying to protect our people. I ask all the local government people to give us information, because we are ready to enter into the forest to flush out these bandits” he stated.

Ekpa, who claimed he was disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, rose to prominence in July 2021, after he announced himself as the lead broadcaster of Radio Biafra.

But the IPOB, has disowned Ekpa, self-acclaimed disciple of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, .

A statement by IPOB spokesperson, Emmanuel Powerful said Ikpa is leading terrorists to destroy lives and properties in the South-East.

“IPOB will stop at nothing from exposing Simon Ekpa. We must expose him for clarity’s sake, and nobody should link him with IPOB. He is not our member and can never be an IPOB member,” the statement read.

The recent killings and destruction in the South-East have been linked to Ekpa.
