Posted by Igbos who reside in Finland have disavowed Nnamdi Kanu, the self-described disciple of IPOB, the banned organization.
The change came as a result of frequent killings in the area caused by Simon Ekpa’s forced sit-at-home protest against the Federal Government.
Recently, Ekpa, a Nigerian living in Finland, made headlines for ordering a five-day sit-at-home throughout the entire region, which resulted in the murder of innocent people and the destruction of both public and private property.
Ekpa was recently called in and questioned about the security situation in Southeast, according to a statement made by Kingsley Orji on behalf of the Igbo community in Finland.
They held him responsible for the ongoing security problem in the area that has existed ever since the Department of State Security Services jailed the IPOB leader again in 2021.
The Igbo Community in Finland firmly denounces Mr. Simon Ekpa’s seditious remarks and deeds, which have taken on a dangerously violent dimension of killing and devastation anytime he makes such commands, yet we accept and recognize the right of individuals to voice their ideas.
It is difficult to travel and conduct business in the Igboterritory because of his threats and his group’s violent operations in Southeast Nigeria.
“Simon Ekpa is strongly advised from using social media to disseminate threats of violence, since this infuriates the Igbo people of Nigeria,” the statement reads.
