The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called on the people of Southeast to stop listening to Finland-based Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa on issues that concern the sit-at-home order he issues.
In a statement obtained by The Eastern Updates, Emma Powerful, the spokesman for IPOB, said; ‘Every Biafran must understand the importance of this letter. If you are a lover of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, you must listen to him.’
Powerful, who wondered why Ekpa would declare himself Prime Minister of Biafra while Kanu, whom he claims is his leader, is languishing in detention, charged Igbos to stop ‘giving credence to the enemy of Ndigbo and Biafrans claiming to be Kanu’s disciple.’

He said: ‘Perhaps when Mazi comes out, he will become the fake disciple’s deputy or personal assistant. Every Biafran must stop observing any sit-at-home order from the infiltrators.’
The IPOB spokesman further noted: ‘The reckless enforcement and abuse of sit-at-homes is an opportunity for criminals to kidnap, murder, maim, and snatch cars from innocent citizens.
‘This government-sponsored criminality and violent enforcement of sit-at-home have endangered the lives of our people through the invasion of murderous and overzealous Nigerian security agents.
‘Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has sent messages through his visitors at DSS dungeon to the infiltrators to stop the reckless sit-at-home several times, all to no avail.’
The secessionist group had on Saturday confirmed the authenticity of the handwritten note written by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to the Finland-based Simon Ekpa-led faction of the group, ordering him to discontinue the sit-at-home exercise in the South-East.
Powerful noted that the clarification became necessary to make the message disassociating Kanu and IPOB from the ‘senseless’ enforcement of the sit-at-home order.
The spokesman gave this clarification in a statement obtained by The Eastern Updates on Sunday, adding that the Kanu’s handwritten letter serves as the last warning to Simon Ekpa to desist from his incessant sit-at-home orders in the South-East.
