Self-acclaimed human rights activist and spokesperson for the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, has described as fake the letter written to him by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.
Ekpa, whose instruction requires South East to sit at home every Monday, called the letter read publicly by Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, a forgery, emphasizing that the two-week stay-at-home order must be followed.
It will be recalled that Chronicle NG reported that Kanu wrote a letter to Ekpa directing him to stop issuing sit-at-home orders in the region and also to stop antagonizing South-Eastern Governors and other political office holders.
Kanu, who stated that he “was against the order for people to stay at home under whatever guise”, had issued directives contained in a self-handwritten letter addressed to Ekpa, the self-acclaimed Prime Minister of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ordering him to announce an end to the sit-at-home protest in the region.
However, in his post via his Twitter handle, the Finland-based Ekpa noted that the letter was a joke and an ‘insult taken too far’.
Ekpa stated that Kanu must be released by the Department of State Service (DSS, and should speak to Biafrans from Finland before he believes the letter originated from Kanu.
He believes the IPOB leader cannot be so low as to send a letter like the one Ejimakor read.
He further stated that Kanu was misrepresented in the letter.
Ekpa said, “Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by the 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. We can’t take any orders from the Islamic DSS, and that is final.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released, and he must address Biafrans from Finland. That is the condition of the Prime Minister of Biafra and the Biafra Republic Government In Exile”.
