IPOB PRESS RELEASE
22/11/2024

SIMON EKPA IS NOT AN IPOB MEMBER AND MUST NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH IPOB

The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the purported arrest and claim of being an IPOB member by the infamous Prime Minister of Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE) named Simon Ekpa. For public records, Simon Ekpa has never been a member of IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who is currently being detained illegally in the DSS solitary confinement by the Nigerian Government since almost four years.

Contrary to the disinformation from the BBC News report that Simon Ekpa is an IPOB leader. Simon Ekpa is not an IPOB member, let alone be a leader in IPOB. IPOB has some family units in Finland, and Simon Ekpa is not a ed member of any IPOB unit in Finland or any unit globally. Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu established IPOB as a peaceful movement to seek Biafra Independence via a supervised UN referendum.

IPOB is a peaceful global movement that has never taken to violence or arms struggle in two decades of our self-determination struggle. Even though the various murderous government regimes in Nigeria have provoked us. We have remained resolute and peaceful.

On the other hand, Simon Ekpa was seen by some innocent Biafrans as someone sympathetic to the Biafra course. Until they discovered that he was a destructive agent paid to infiltrate and destroy the IPOB peaceful movement for Biafra self-determination. He recruited violent criminals to destabilize the South East Region in 2021. He is a self acclaimed prime minister of a small group called Biafra Government in Exile (BGIE).

The infamous BGIE led by Simon Ekpa created a violent group that call themselves the Biafra Liberation Army. They have perpetuated various violent acts against the civilians in the Eastern Region in the name of Biafra agitation. IPOB family worldwide refused to accept that system to achieve Biafra freedom and sovereignty. His group and the Nigerian Army are responsible for many kidnappings, rapes, forceful disappearances, killings, and burning of homes in the South Eastern region. Undoubtedly, Simon Ekpa has claimed responsibility for the violent actions of his criminal gang.

The Simon Ekpa led group has no alliance or relationship with IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He recruited his criminals who have been terrorizing the Biafran territory since 2021 after the kidnapp, extraordinary rendition, and illegal detaintion of the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria.

The Nigerian government and politicians whom Biafrans believe contracted Simon Ekpa has been tagging his group's violent and terrorist activities on IPOB just to blackmail and demonize the genuine and peaceful Biafra self-determination struggle led by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

IPOB is by this press release calling on BBC News and Finnish Authorities to note that Simon Ekpa has no relationship with IPOB in Finland or any other unit globally. He should not be associated with IPOB because IPOB does not violent agitation that he represents.

IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a peaceful movement that has adopted civil disobedience to press our demand for Biafra's self-determination and referendum. Unlike Simon Ekpa, who recruits and funds criminals who carry out killings of civilians and government agents, destroyed many homes in Biafra territory. Therefore, no person or institution should link Simon Ekpa and his group to IPOB. We do not have any relationship whatsoever.

Simon Ekpa has been shielded from arrest and terrorism charges against innocent Biafran civilians by the Nigerian and the Finnish governments' diplomatic maneuvering. However, for every crime, there is a day of reckoning. On the purported arrest of Simon Ekpa, all IPOB , Biafrans and lovers of Biafra freedom should remain calm and focus on the ball which is the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the illegal detention and the Biafra restoration project.

IPOB does not do violent agitation or violence against civilians. IPOB does not do violent agitation or violence against the Nigerian Security Forces or the sponsored infiltrator criminals represented by Simon Ekpa.

COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL, MEDIA, AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB

The truth will soon come out. We will know when the killing in the south east stops

Simon Ekpa fowl don finally lay cooked eggs

Ekpa disowned. His own is finished.

Simon Ekpa the criminal whom the zoo used as a proxy in their effort to cause division in IPOB and bring Biafran agitation to disrepute. His real freedom fighting just started. Freedom fighters are either in jail, grave or exile. You don't fight for freedom by dancing in your European basement while sending few idiots to kill, kidnap and terrorize same innocent people you're suppose to free.

Simon Ekpa has never been an IPOB member, even he has said so many times. IPOB has said many times that he is just a follower of Nnamdi Kanu, but never belonged to the group

But the one Nigerianists and the unity beggars have forced IPOB hip on him, like they do to anyone from the East who hates their useless 'one Nigeria'. Like they do to anyone who commits a gun crime in the East

Why the screaming headline?
Ekpa has always stated that he doesn't agree with Emma Powerful and his group in IPOB. The guys in IPOB have always disassociated themselves from Ekpas activities for years. So there is no news here

The idea that Ekpa is IPOB and that IPOB is UGM, and that the UGM owned by IPOB are responsible for the carnage in the east, is a creation of the Nigerian government, the Lagos media and anti Igbo internet hirelings.

Kh36:
Ekpa disowned. His own is finished.

He was never "owned" by IPOB. It has been stated over and over. Except losers in the zoo look for any opportunity to call any of their own moves a victory against IPOB which is never the case.

Lol..

See life..

Coward people..

So Simon Ekpa nah Fulani or Arewa?

Idiotic Statement. If cowardice and two-face are names, some people would answer.

How can a whole Prime Minister of IPOB not a member?

Yet he gives orders that are being implemented every seconds? Anyone ever heard from this lot claiming IPOB ownership since?

The only IPOB Leader known after Nnamdi Kanu is Simon Epka.
Those who release this statement are the imposters.

We're however patiently waiting till when he'll be extradited so that he eats watery beans with Nnamdi Kanu in the zoo gallow.

Meanwhile, terrorism is hydra- headed, one head is cut, another grows. So who's taking over from him? Gidgiddy you're next.

Cant wait for us to have Niger delta republic





An independent nation free from parasites and unity beggars




All these ones una dey do with Igbo if Tinubu try am with Niger delta son ehnnn

Failure is an orphan.

Isn't he the one running Radio Biafra?

Try another lie.

The audacity of a terrorist group.

.I thought United Nations,Ecomog,Russia ,china,USA,Japan and world leaders would bombard the zoo with their missiles if anything happens to una Almighty Simon Ekpa?Haba !!small hand wey just touch una oga,una don starts to sing song,Too bad for the greatest developers in the whole universe

T

See cowardly IPoB denying their prime minister 😂😂😂

Nigerians will hail you until you enter wahala, then even your own mother will deny you. Anyways, e don buy federal job and he will pay in German currency regardless of his affiliation or de-affiliation.

See denial

Kh36:
Ekpa disowned. His own is finished.

Associating him to IPOB is deliberate mischief as they stated he is not their member for years. Ekpa himself as stated so severally. It's just a way of ascribing his violence to IPOB, I believe. Ofcourse trust you government to turn him to a global figure through their well known incompetence. They already started mentioning extradition which every right thinking person know is impossible.

Birds of feathers

Here we go again. Igbos in denial as usual. Yes OO. Ekpa was never IPOB. He was always OPC, ISWAP and Lukurawa or whatever.

In fact he was a paid Buhari plant sustained to make angelic Igbos look bad. Now Tinubu is his new paymaster.

I hear he is even a Yoruba, from Ilesha, pretending to be Igbo. If a people can collectively claim Buhari was dead and replaced by a Jubrin from Sudan then what tall tales can they not spin?

We all know Ekpa is fcked and Igbos, as historically proven to be default behaviour for them, are in denial and damage-limitation mode. Clowns.

Hehe

Please come again...

Igbo people were known as warriors who feared nothing even death, but these days a small boy will just sit behind a computer or smartphone in his house and start shouting "BIAFRA", "Nigeria is a zoo", etc. before you know it, igbos will then start donating thousands to them.

Instead of them using the donated funds to better the lives of their people they end up buying guns for illiterates who end up killing the relatives of those that donated the money and some people will be online ing them.

How will killing your people and burning institutions give you Biafra?

How can people even this rubbish, the SE used to be one of the safest regions is this country but look at what is happening now, kidnappings and killings everywhere. People are even afraid to return home for traditional marriages or Burials.

PulaPower:
Lol..

See life..

Coward people..

So Simon Ekpa nah Fulani or Arewa?

Rest! IPOB has always maintained that Ekpa isn't their member. Unless you started reading news this morning.

Ekpa has never been with IPOB

He belongs to APC governor's in the south east. Watch how they will handle his case.

Failure is an orphan

Now they're denying their brother.

.. you see life?

I think there should be an investigation not assumptions, statements and counter statements.

dramas upon dramas in Nigeria, when you thought you're done seeing the end of a tale, just then you realise it is all just starting.
