Special Counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Aloy Ejimakor, has claimed he frustrated an attempt by Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa to reach Enugu State governor, Peter Mbah.
Ejimakor made this known in a tweet on his official handle on Saturday, where he claimed Ekpa on July 19 chatted him on WhatsApp demanding to speak with the governor.
According to the IPOB lawyer, the move was for the separatists to collect money from the government and betray the detained leader of the IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

In a bid to buttress his allegation, the lawyer went on to share the screenshot of his chat with Ekpa.
Taking to his social media page, Ejimakor tweeted: “Simon, these screenshots would prove that on 19th July, you begged me to facilitate your desperation to speak with Gov Mba, but I used my ‘number six’ to frustrate it because I knew you will ask him for money in return for betraying MNK. That’s why you disobeyed his order”.
This development is coming hours after Ekpa rejected an alleged order by Kanu that the sit-at-home in the Southeast should be put on hold.
In another tweet, Ejimakor said Ekpa mobilised his minions to call him all night after his disclosures yesterday.
He said one of the callers sent a text threatening to harm him. But he insisted that he was not fazed by the intimidation.
The text message which was sent to him at 6.59am today from telephone number +234 9165950339 read: “Don’t make the same mistake of ifeanyi ejiofo or you will regret till you die we biafra can’t forgive anyone who betrayed mazi nnamdi kanu be warn Mr lawyer what do you think you can get from Nigeria terrorist that you can not have more than if biafra finally come rethink.”
“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,” he tweeted.
