Nigerians in every part of the world are signing a petition asking the Finnish government, the Nigerian government, and the European Union to arrest Simon Ekpa, the masterminder of the five-day sit-at-home order which recently resulted in the death of many South-East citizens.
In the viral video, Ekpa, a self-declared leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ordered residents of the South-East to carry out a sit-at-home protest between December 9 and 14. The order was complied with and the protest degenerated into bloodshed and the ruin of people’s lives and properties.
Despite IPOB’s denials of ever issuing a sit-at-home order on the days in question through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, violence has persisted in the region.
Consequently, angry Nigerians are signing the petition requesting Ekpa’s arrest for “terrorism and genocide.”
The petition read: “We call on the Finnish Government, EU, and The Nigerian Government to arrest Mr Simon Ekpa, and investigate all his heinous crimes and terror activities in Eastern Nigeria.
“One Simon Ekpa (also known as Ifeanyi Njoku), a Nigerian living in Finland, and holding Finnish citizenship, has by proxies, successfully established and coordinated an armed rebel group in Eastern Nigeria whom he now wields to destroy lives, property, and businesses in Eastern Nigeria.
“He’s been seen countless times, using his media platforms in Finland to issue orders to his armed goons in Eastern Nigeria to launch deadly attacks on millions of people in the region for flouting his sit-at-home orders.
“Simon is a separatist fighting for state secession but has never been brave enough to come home and lead the war from the front in Nigeria.
“He is rather igniting and fueling terror on his ethnic group who decline his call for secession.
“Simon’s action is stirring up bloodbath – a genocide in the region, and innocent women, children, the aged and youths are the victims dying everyday.
“Sign the petition, and share it everywhere, to call on the Finnish Government, EU, The Nigerian Government to arrest Mr. Simon Ekpa, and investigate all his heinous crimes and terror activities in Eastern Nigeria.”
