South-east Residents Observe Sit-at-home Despite Arrest Of Simon Ekpa by gidgiddy: 2:27pm On Nov 27, 2024
Despite the arrest of a self-confessed Biafran leader, Simon Ekpa, by the Finnish authorities, the sit-at-home in South East Nigeria has continued.

Also clashes between the Nigerian security agencies and militias groups linked to the agitation continued across the five states of the region. Monday's sit-at-home was initially called by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as civil disobedience against the illegal incarceration of their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, by the Nigerian authorities despite various courts judgements, declaring his abduction from Kenya in June 2021 as illegal.

Since then, economic and social activities have been paralysed on Mondays despite the leadership of IPOB declaring an end to sit-at-home protest. So many pro-Biafra groups including the one led by Ekpa, who resides in Finland have continued to enforce the sit-at-home, insisting that until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released in compliance with various court orders and UN Human Rights Communications to Nigeria which have been implemented in breach, sit-at-home will not stop. They also accused some IPOB members calling for an end to sit-at-home as sell out and saboteurs.

While some believed that with the arrest of Simon Ekpa, it would see the end to sit-at-home, it appears that sit-at-home has been encouraged with momentum as most cities in all the five states in the South East witnessed resurgence of sit-at-home on Monday.

SaharaReporters had reported that gunmen attacked operatives of the Anambra State Vigilante Service on Monday and burnt their operational vehicle.

The incident which happened along the Amesi-Uga Road in Aguata Local Government Area, Anambra State also send fears on the residents.

The Anambra State Police Spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident in a press statement, adding that police operatives responded swiftly to the attack, rescuing the injured vigilante who was immediately taken to the hospital and was now receiving treatment.

According to Ikenga, the police secured the scene of the attack to prevent further criminal activity and ensure properties and goods were safeguarded.

Meanwhile, private and mission schools that had been operating on Mondays in Anambra State suspended classes until further notice.

The Catholic Education Council in a directive said: “Due to certain security concerns, it has been considered that schools will not be held on Mondays till further notice.

“Pupils are advised to stay at home and resume on Tuesday 26th November. We’re sorry for any inconvenience.

“SSS3 students are, however, expected to be coming to school on Mondays and Saturdays for special lessons without uniform.

Monday sit at home has never ever been at the instance of Ekpa and his bingos …

It has been on the orders of kanu … and I know very well that Onitsha traders see this as a solidarity to detained kanu… and has never ever obeyed Ekpa and his bingos..
In fact the last time Ekpa bingos came around .. they were burnt right there in main market and they won’t hesitate to burn Ekpa or his resemblance anywhere near Anambra

So he’s bingos always attack lonely village settings to oppressed ..

Will dare and double Ekpa and his bingos to go anywhere near Owerri or Onitsha or Aba to enforce sit at home … aside Monday sit at home


They were lucky the last time in Anambra .. where they went to local to kill a vigilante rushed out ..

Abakiliki boys are majorly Ekpa Allie’s and they’re becoming haunted in Anambra state .. even among the active vigilante .. they’re not employed.

Ekpa has his place .. ebonyi and some part of Enugu state .. and orlu .. which they use the forest AS HIDEOUTS and camps ..

If Ekpa wants to try his luck… when release he should make. a bold appearance at upper iweka to test his popularity

Just like kanu..

Only then he will understand… Anambra man don’t plY with his business or money

Op enjoy your dead propaganda

Ekpa has gone down and will remain down

Let his bingos cough…

He tried so many times to manipulate and lay claim to the Monday sit at home .. but failed ..

Ask well

Abakiliki are proud igbos and proud Biafrans and other Biafrans love them too,every tribe has something that divides them and something that unites them,just like an average Yoruba doesn't see an illaje or okun as real yorubas or isokos who do not consider themselves urhobos but speak the same language its everywhere.

Please let us ask ourselves logically, why should there be sit at home for someone who never brought a single development to the South East apart from destruction? Why?

What's the name of Nnamdi Kanu's pure water factory in any of the South East states?

Which road projects have Ipob as a group embarked on in any part of the South East states?

Name one beneficiary from the Ipob scholarship program or empowerment program.

Yes they’re Igbos… but Ekpa is using them for his actz
No Igbo man can shoot or kill another for fun …even the harden criminals will either steal from you or obtain or a hired assassin…

Not just killing for what they don’t know… even in days before bakaasi..

Ekpa brought his local louts to ferment trouble in Igbo land .

I know what am saying .. cultists are different game ..

Even cultist still pay this abak boys peanut for hits …

They value nothing and believe after Biafra .. for their mind . They will take over all big men properties.

You better continue to observe continuous 2yrs sit-at-home as you like. Since it is self-inflicted imprisonment that never crosses border to disturb peace of other regions in Nigeria; those who hailed emergence of ipob brutality will also fight for its destruction when time comes. Now, south west is the one feeding parasitic Biafrans at moment since your IGR remains the least in the country and the excesses from south west is being shared and distributed to feed Biafrans at moment. Ekpa is making the entire Biafra as a money making content creation venture when he supposed to announce his stand on Biafra for the world to hear his voice.

Biafrans and Biafran soldiers are dying on weekly basis on Biafra matters not knowing ekpa was using them to make Google money as content creator aside donations. Biafrans have been ridiculed by Ekpa, these ipob Biafran leaders are not serious; they are too selfish and self-centered selling igbos unknowingly for content creation money making purposes. I have never heard of any leader of any nation been unserious like ekpa.

Even the op never knew he was only busy defending content creator prime minister of "yeye" who is raking millions of dollars from donations and content creation on top of Biafra matters. Despite making all these money, ekpa never built school, sponsor education or support business men and women; all ekpa does is to destroy schools, companies, cripple small/medium businesses and kill IGR to raise poverty for south east that depends on excesses revenue from south west to feed biafrans
