Ohanaeze says Ekpa is a hireling enriching and glorifying self
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Ohanaeze Ndigbo has accused Simon Ekpa, the self-appointed Biafran agitator, of using the detention of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu to enrich himself at the expense of life, property, and wellbeing of Igbos.
Ohanaeze also accused Ekpa, who is based in Finland, of being a hireling acting the script of the enemies of Igbos having allegedly collected huge sums of money to destabilise the South East and undermine its progress.
Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) National President Okwu Nnabuike wondered why Finland continues to harbour and allow Ekpa to use that country as a launchpad for “deadly sit-at-home campaigns and destructive incitements.”
“We want to make it abundantly clear to Ndigbo, Nigerians and the international community that Ekpa is not fighting the cause of Biafra or Kanu,” Nnabuike said.
“On the contrary, he has since sold all of us to our enemies, who are bent on destroying us economically, politically and socially.
“He is also actively working against Kanu’s release to continue making money. He knows the Federal Government will likely continue to detain Kanu as long as the region is restive.
“In the same vein, because South East’s loss is gain for other parts of the country in a federal arrangement, it is obvious that Ekpa is being sponsored and encouraged by forces within and outside to destroy and hold the region down.
“We are already witnessing a high loss of investments and migration of existing businesses to other parts of Nigeria.”

Ohanaeze accuses Helsinki of complicity in South East mayhem
OYC also called out Helsinki for alleged complicity in the insecurity in the South East, according to reporting by The Guardian.
“We put it to the government of Finland that it cannot count itself innocent of all the atrocities and killings by enforcers of Ekpa’s insane sit-at-homes in our region.
“We cannot stop wondering why such a European society, renowned for its value for human life, continues to harbour Ekpa and allow him to freely incite disaster and destruction of life and property in Igbo land.
“Will Finland also treat him with kid gloves should his utterances or actions lead to death of a single Finnish?”
