Sit-at-Home: Ohanaeze demands arrest, repatriation of Simon Ekpa, blames him for violence in the South-East

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has called for the immediate arrest and repatriation of Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa, to Nigeria, saying he is, “the overseas provocateur and instigator for the current killings in Imo state, the destruction of public properties in Enugu State and disturbance of public peace and sporadic shootings in Ebonyi state".

The demand by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, was contained in a statement syndicated to Fresh Angle International this evening, Monday December 12.

The statement, e-signed by Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, noted: “Ndigbo will liaise with relevant organizations, Finish Embassy in Nigeria and Nigerians in Diaspora to seek ways to bring back Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa to Nigeria to face prosecution and trials over the killings of south Easterners, burning of public properties and the disturbances of public peace. Surprisingly, the so-called self-acclaimed Biafran agitator is championing the disruption of election processes in the South-East, with evil decrees against the collection of PVCs in the South-East, and institute an illegal but violent Sit-at-homes, to undermine the economy of Ndigbo in this festive season and stimulate violence, massacres and chaos as Christmas gifts for Ndigbo ".

Whilst stating that it has commenced the processes of making sure that those responsible for the pandemonium, destruction of public properties, killings and civil unrest in the South-East will face the consequences of their actions, the apex socio-cultural body, described Simon Ekpa as: “A trickery man and criminal hiding behind Finish citizenship and Biafra agitation to wreak havoc, extort monies from Nigerians abroad, and influence the insecurity challenges against Ndigbo", this is the height of deception and treachery against Ndigbo”.
