IPOB TO NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT: EKPA'S CONVICTION IS HIS CROSS TO BEAR; STOP THE DESPERATE SMOKESCREEN CAMPAIGN TO PERVERT MAZI NNAMDI KANU'S TRIAL

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the command of our unlawfully detained Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, issues this urgent rebuttal to the false and malicious attempt by the Nigerian government and its compromised media collaborators to link the conviction of one Simon Ekpa in Finland to IPOB’s lawful activities.

This is a brazen fraud against truth and justice. The world must know that the question of Simon Ekpa’s non-membership in IPOB is already judicially settled in Finland.

JUDICIAL CONFIRMATION: EKPA IS NOT IPOB — IPOB IS NOT EKPA

The record is clear:

IPOB under oath in a Finnish court testified that Simon Ekpa has never held any position in IPOB or ESN.
Ekpa himself under oath described himself merely as a “content creator,” admitted he disowned IPOB, and boasted that he would destroy IPOB.
Ekpa created his own parallel contraptions: “Biafra Government in Exile,” “Biafra Liberation Army (BLA),” and “Biafra Defence Force (BDF)” — entities repudiated and condemned by IPOB.
Any narrative linking Ekpa’s personal downfall to IPOB is therefore deliberate misinformation — a calculated lie, knowingly repeated to deceive.

A SMOKESCREEN TO UNDERMINE JUSTICE

The Nigerian state is orchestrating this smear campaign as a diversionary tactic, timed precisely to contaminate the upcoming ruling on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s no-case submission before Justice James Omotosho, now adjourned until 10 October 2025.

We ask the world: Why the unexplained delay in delivering judgment when the Federal Government has failed to establish even a prima facie case? The answer is obvious: they are buying time to inject irrelevant and extraneous narratives like Ekpa’s conviction, in a bid to corrupt judicial reasoning.

This is not justice. It is judicial hostage-taking — a weaponization of the courts to sustain persecution.

CALL TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

We call upon global actors of conscience:

European Union & Finland: You bear direct responsibility for ensuring your judicial findings are not misrepresented abroad. The Finnish court exonerated IPOB of any link to Simon Ekpa. We demand clarity be issued to Nigeria to stop this malicious misuse.
United Kingdom & United States: You have both condemned Nigeria’s extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya. If you are true to your principles, you must also condemn this latest charade — an attempt to derail a fair trial by importing lies.
United Nations: The Nigerian government is persecuting a self-determination leader in violation of the UN Charter. IPOB reminds the UN that silence in the face of weaponized judiciary is complicity.
CONCLUSION: IPOB REMAINS RESOLUTE

Let it be recorded: IPOB is a peaceful movement registered under international law, committed to lawful self-determination. This case in Abuja is not about IPOB’s legitimacy; it is about the persecution of one man — Mazi Nnamdi Kanu — for daring to demand freedom through peaceful means.

Simon Ekpa’s conviction is his burden and his alone. IPOB will never carry it.

We warn Justice James Omotosho and the Nigerian judiciary: the eyes of the world are upon you. On 10 October 2025, the only acceptable outcome is one grounded in law and fact. Any judgment influenced by this manufactured smokescreen will be rejected as null and void by history, by law, and by the international community.

Nigeria stands today at the bar of world opinion. Persist in this fraud, and you confirm yourselves a rogue state where the rule of law is dead.

After working for zoo, killing to implicate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and ipob,he have been sent where he belongs.


I'm glad Ipob made sure the zoo agent of provocateur go down.
I remember Simon ekpa boosting to be the end of IPOB 😂😂🤣🤣


The criminal killed so many Biafrans and did everything to paint ipob as violent group before international communities, but thank God he failed.


IPOB members can even gather in front of Finland court without any harassment or arrest,all thanks to ipob leadership (DOS)



Zoo government have used and dumped the ekuke 😂😂🤣
Soon his boy called called gentle yahoo will go down.

When Mazi Nnamdi Kanu says serve the zoo and come back in shame, Simon ekpa think it just a merely words.

About four years ago I warned him against working for zoo government against Ipob and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu indirectly,he insulted me and blocked me boosting how he will be the end of Ipob.



God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu


God bless ipob leadership.

God bless all lovers of freedom.





Once again God bless ipob leadership

Hmmm....Thanks for authenticating that Deji screenshots recants were not fabricated while affirming that you are a glorified liar!
The rest of your fruitless and puerile prevarication is a waste of time!
I'm done here!

A rookie will always be a rookie na...

I've waited for so long to see the experienced policy makers Obi will pull into his circle since 2023. He shouted consumption to production without any policy to back it. He made Serah, Morris, Aisha is close aides and you wonder if that man is contesting for class captain. An unserious entity. I don't know what business those three have being in the cabinet of a presidential candidate aside setting them aside for online influencing. People that can't win their polling units.

A student of politics shouldn't even make that mistake of sueing Deji Adeyanju. Someone who has foresight and vision would have seen he will only be dragged into the mud. Now he's also in battle with Sowore by proxy. People wey be say activism, chaos is their bread and butter. Obi should leave the political scene abeg. He's an embarrassment.[/b]

Heffalump:
I have never seen Obi on EFCC wanted list, never ever. Obi has always been a rich fortunate guy who struggled to expand the business empire left behind by his late dad. He built and made great fortunes from family businesses left to him as acquired legacy.

Now, let's discuss your Tinubu: This is someone whose true background we don't know. No childhood history, no evidence of proper training except drug peddling in the USA. After so much damaged reputations, he ran back to Nigeria to become a governor and now your president. This can only happen in a lawless country as Nigeria.

He acquired so much wealth as Lagos state governor and continued to plunder on the state treasury, a situation that made him fell out with Ambode, denied him 2nd term and planted his stooge. He made sure all his family members and loyal friends occupy key political positions in Nigeria. His wife as senator for several years, his daughter as Iyaloja for several years, he planted political sons and daughters in the national and state assemblies. All these thru the mastery of shameless rigging. He lacks every bit of honesty to lead a country from his antecedents and ugly tales of the past.

Yes, nobody is truly holy in the real sense. But Peter Obi is a natural man in pure form that cannot be compared to all these evil minded politicians in Nigeria. He's a holy Saint compared to Tinubu. All others have so much baggages. Obi remains a national project. The day God makes him Nigerian president, all these evil practices will rot away. Someone like you, will become born again.

KaptainAfrika:
When APC thugs beat people in Lagos, and his aides used religious and tribalistic vitirol, I guess Tinubu never saw anything wrong in them, as he never publicly cautioned them. You people should cry more, you are going out in 2027 e go shock una.

A president that licks mic cannot be my president!😁
A president that pontificates over sustaining an exchange rate of $1 to #1500 when he had once criticized a president who had $1 to #190 can never be my president!
A president that graduated from a secondary school that was established 5 years ago can never be my president!
A president that lied about being school mates with a man that was 13 years when Timubu graduated from CSU can certainly not qualify as a president of the most populous black nation.
A president that lied about his educational qualifications can never be a president in a sane society!

As much as I don't want to meddle into trivialities and hapless prevarication,Obi is a Nigerian and a national figure who can stay in any state as he chooses including Lagos state as long as he pays the rents and fulfills his obligation as a law abiding citizen!
Just the same way he owns a House in Anambra state and constantly stays there unlike your paymaster who hardly stays in Nigeria because he is hiding his failing health status!

So when are you going to present a rebuttal to the Deji X screenshot that I attached which you called fabricated?
The more you keep evading this question,the more people discover that I am right😁
I challenge you to present a contrary screenshot to mine with the timestamps or you are the liar!
Leave all these deflective shalaye and send me your robust rebuttal with evidence 😆😁😁

Jagabanfromcali:
God will bless Nigeria and Nigerians but God cannot bless Tinubu unless he repents and put the interest of Nigerians at the fore , till he repents from a tribal leader to a national leader it can’t happen

bentenny:
Another epistle from Tinubu paymaster!
All these shalaye nah because of Tinubu?


You call Obi a political prostitute but your paymaster was once in SDP as a senator and then to AD before porting to ACN and then APC😆😆

You keep heaping questions when you are yet to answer any of my questions?
Is that how you got your fake first class?😃
Well why am I surprised when your paymaster also graduated from a secondary school that was established 5 years later!
If not for the late activist,late Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN),Tinubu would have claimed he attended both university of Chicago and CSU😆😆 same way he claimed he was an employee of dellottie only to be disowned by the company😎

Once again,I await your rebuttal of Deji X screenshot recants that you refer to as fabricated!
Show your proof with your own screenshot with timestamps🥱🥱

No more shalaye😆

bentenny:
😄😄
Instead of having a robust response to your voyage of lies from your paymaster,you decided to as usual prevaricate as a way of deflection!

Meanwhile have you presented your 'unfabricated' screenshots of Deji's recants with available timestamps?😆😆

Since you want to get cheeky,let's start with this....
How come Tinubu called Alex Zingman his 'schoolmate' when Alex never attended CSU but the university of Illinois?😄
How did your paymaster graduate from a secondary school that was established 5 years later?
Yet you call Obi a liar....😆
More like a pot calling a kettle black😄

Softmirror:
Falana made good money though.

Softmirror:
Fubara miscalculated, his government would have been far more positively impartful than Wike's because that was Wike's intention of making him Governor so that he will be supported by his influence as a right hand man of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But, Fubara ended up befriend the politicians who are enemies of the people of Rivers State.

There is no doubt that the people of Rivers State see Wike as a man of honor and majority are very loyal to him.

Wike is indeed a FIELD MARSHAL in Nigeria's politics. He under studies every battle and knows how to win.

I hope Fubara has learnt his lessons. If he likes he should return to his old ways of being unreasonable. He will be checkmated by from every corner.

chidiokay:
You guyz have being talking But you havent just made reasonable sense to sane Class, i am not naive

1. Yeah market unification, but however you cant posit stabilized priced in a country you visit market today #10 next market day you hear another price .. that is the reality

2 . whatever you on about the data protection is not tenable, Nigerians have keyed in into remote work, cryto trading long before 2023 ... how is the act protecting US now ... whats different

3. Can you substantiate marine n blue economy with upscale trade balance, you have fish export surplus yet fish is damn expensive in the market, why ?? they say $$ make it make sense

4. Lifting FX restriction how as that helped to reinstate purchasing power of manufacturers or major importer, the money that can buy me i max container 2022 can't buy half container .. what should i celebbrate
5. please back it up with importer's testimony .. smh

6. Are we now producing more oil, have we met our local demands and why did dangote have to source outside

Leave paper achievement, show us IMPACT even your mom can relate

bentenny:
You simply described a man whose wife and children are extremely poor but he keeps announcing to them that he has a billion naira in his bank account!😆😆
Paper qualifications without the corresponding sense!

For all that you have mentioned,none of these reforms have reduced food inflation,prices of goods and services or made Nigeria a producing nation atleast to what apc met in 2015!

So minimum wage is now an achievement by this administration?
Oh my lord😂😂
Do you know that the minimum wage in 2015 that was 19800 is bigger in terms of value than the 70k you keep pontificating around as an achievement?
Even Bubu 30k despite being worthless was more valuable than your much elevated 70k....yet you claim to have a 1st class and PhD in accounting😂😂

Tax reform where everyone will pay 5% for every litre of PMS in 2026 or abi the same tax reform that will likely increase its VAT to 10-15% by next year to further impoverish the citizens?

You are one of the reasons why most of our youths claim school in Nigeria is a scam!

chidiokay:
If you are so convinced the results are yielding then why is difficult or impossible for you guyz to list out the impacts in clear term

lolz, i am not naive like you, we are no longer subsidizing, should i remind you how many times cbn have pull up intervention funds to the market in the last 2yrs.. is that not defending the naira

the naira had clawed its way back to ₦1,525/$1, marking a 15.28% strengthening in just five months—an annualised pace of nearly 48.9%.

For a country that is highly dependant on import for manufactures and consumption ...1500 for a $1 will this guyz just pretend they dont know how much they've eroded purchasing power

This allegation by the police is questionable further investigation is needed to ascertain what actually transpired.There is an unresolved political feud between Uba Sani and El-Rufai,the two have their zealots who could go at any length to satisfy their masters to even scores.

From devaluation to domination: How Tinubu’s exchange rate reforms turned naira into Nigeria’s export engine

When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration dismantled Nigeria’s rigid foreign exchange regime in 2024, critics were quick to call it a currency collapse. The naira plunged to ₦1,800 per dollar in March 2024, and headlines screamed of economic freefall. But beneath the noise, a deliberate, high-risk economic recalibration was underway—one that has now begun to pay off in spectacular fashion.

By August 2025, the naira had clawed its way back to ₦1,525/$1, marking a 15.28% strengthening in just five months—an annualised pace of nearly 48.9%. This wasn’t luck; it was policy. Increased oil receipts, swelling diaspora remittances, and the clearing of over $4 billion in foreign exchange backlogs restored investor trust. The unification of Nigeria’s FX windows created a single, transparent market rate—finally letting the currency find its realistic value.

Why does this matter? Because a realistic exchange rate does more than please economists—it changes the very arithmetic of trade. Nigerian goods, once overpriced in dollars due to an artificially strong naira, suddenly became bargains on global markets. A bag of sesame seeds, cocoa beans, or even processed chocolate instantly cost less in New York, Mumbai, or São Paulo, without the Nigerian farmer or factory owner earning less in naira terms.

The result was swift and striking. Non-oil exports jumped from $2.696 billion in H1 2024 to $3.225 billion in H1 2025—a 19.62% year-on-year growth. And this wasn’t just a “price illusion.” Export volumes rose from 3.83 million to 4.04 million metric tonnes, proof that foreign buyers weren’t just paying more for the same goods—they were buying more goods, period.
