Simon Ekpa, new leader of bandits, says that the Biafra struggle has grown beyond Nnamdi Kanu

David Umahi, the governor of Ebonyi State, has warned that the illegal Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, are no longer in charge of the Biafran struggle.

Simon Ekpa, the factional leader of IPOB, is allegedly a new bandit leader who is to blame for the ongoing killings in the south-east zone, according to Umahi.

At an elders’ and widows’ party held on Thursday at the Ecumenical Center in Abakaliki, the capital of Ebonyi State, Umahi informed attendees and All Progressives Congress (APC) party members of this.

“When the Biafra agitation first began, I warned them that this issue would extend beyond Nnamdi Kanu. And it now extends beyond Nnamdi Kanu. Every felon claims to be an IPOB. Every felon claims to be an ESN.

“At this time, we have a new bandit, Simon Ekpa. Is this the Biafra that we hoped for? to be displacing others while destroying ourselves. That is why, in the midst of the crisis, we declared that Ebonyi State could never become a part of Biafra. We are not in Biafra, are we?

“If Biafra is going to kill itself, we need to go to the market and start firing at the inaction-prone.” to be announcing a “Sit-at-home” policy while wrecking the economy. what justification? Things like these are unusual in our culture.

“We have phones, so we ask our friends and family to call us and let us know where these people are.” There are security personnel from Ebubeagu and the police present. I caution the politicians who employ these youth. They are the ones who go to court against Ebubeagu.They appeared on public television to denounce Ebubeagu.

Many Ebubeagu people who were attempting to defend our people were slain by them. We are prepared to penetrate the jungle to flush out these outlaws, so I beg everyone in the local government to provide us with information.
