The Special Counsel to the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, has shared phone numbers from the proxies of Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, as well as chats between them following Kanu’s order to end sit-at-home.
Ejimakor in tweets on his official Twitter handle on Saturday, alleged that Ekpa on July 19, chatted him on WhatsApp demanding to speak with the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah.
In the thread of tweets, the IPOB lawyer alleged that Ekpa’s alleged move to speak with the governor was to betray the detained leader of the IPOB.
Kanu’s lawyer noted that one of Ekpa’s men also sent a threatening message to him.
Ejimakor wrote, “The numbers on the screenshots belong to the poor souls @simon_ekpa paid to call me throughout last night to disturb my sleep. But I slept while the poor souls & SIMON did not. One of them even threatened me. Simon, you finished yourself by disobeying #MNK’s order & stop lying.”
PUNCH Metro had on Friday reported that Kanu declared an end to all Sit-At-Home exercise in the South East
Kanu had made the declaration in a handwritten letter, which his special counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, read out to journalists during a world press conference, held in Enugu State.
Kanu in the writing declaration dated July 24, 2023, followed the refusal of Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple to announce the cancellation and further declaration through his media platforms.
Kanu, however, warned Ekpa to “desist from calling for any Sit-at-Home henceforth” and “to make a public announcement to the effect that he (Mazi Simon Ekpa) is in receipt of a direct order from him (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) to cancel any pending Sit-at-Home in place at the moment”.
Kanu’s order read, “Simon, this is a direct order from me. I hereby instruct you to desist from calling for any Sit-at-Home henceforth. Equally refrain from antagonizing Governors or persons in political positions because you are not in a position to know what they are doing on my behalf. I am ordering you to make a public announcement to the effect that you are in receipt of a direct order from me to cancel any pending Sit-at-Home in place at the moment. I embarked on this movement to liberate our people not to enslave them. I despise and will despise any person or entity that wishes to inflict unnecessary hardship on our people. I have authorized Aloy to issue a press statement if you fail to make this announcement on your platform.
“Anybody still engaging in Sit-at-Home is not my disciple. Haters of Biafra and mindless murderers in uniform are hiding under the cover of combating enforcers of Sit-at-Home to unleash mayhem against the same people we swore to defend.
“I have sent countless messages to those purportedly enforcing Sit-at-Home that they are not doing so in my name. I am not begging anybody to release me just that Nigeria should have the decency to obey their own laws.
“The main issue which our people should address their minds to is the unconscionable delays in hearing the government appeal at the Supreme Court, which is a situation not amenable to any Sit-at-Home. Therefore Sit-at-Home is a waste of time, resources and energy.”
