Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed right hand man of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has issued a warning to the Southeast governors.
The separatist agitator threatened to shut down the Southeast for two weeks if governors from the region refuse to secure the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
Ekpa condemned President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to obey court orders releasing Kanu.
Taking to his Twitter handle on Tuesday, Ekpa said:
“Biafran territory may go on two weeks lockdown if the Nigerian Government’s eastern region governors refuse to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or give an update on his whereabouts.
“This has become imperative as nobody knows the whereabouts of MNK after he was discharged. After two weeks of lockdown and nothing, we will activate the next strategy that has never been observed”, he wrote.
In June 2021, Kanu was re-arrested by Interpol in Kenya and handed over to Nigeria; since then, he has been detained despite local and international calls for his release.
A lawyer to Kanu, Aloy Ejimakor, said last week that the separatist’s health condition is deteriorating.
