The Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has asked the people of the Southeast to ignore the sit-at-home order by Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu.
It placed a $50, 000 bounty on the Finland-based Ekpa.
Ekpa had declared sit-at-home on Monday and Tuesday across the Southeast.
However, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, declared Ekpa the number one enemy of the Igbo nation, hence the sit-at-home should be nullified.
In a statement by Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze urged Southeast governors to declare Monday and Tuesday public holidays to allow people of the Southeast to get their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs.
He urged the Southeast Governors to emulate the wisdom of the Abia State Government to declare public holidays on the same days for the people to go out and get their PVCs before the deadline on 29th of January 2023.
“Ndigbo has placed a bounty reward of $50, 000 for anyone who has useful information on how Simon Ekpa will be apprehended for his extradition and prosecution in Nigeria, to answer the law of land over his criminalities, incitement of violent killings, and, burning of public properties in the name of self-determination.”
Ohanaeze urged Igbos residents in Finland to report Ekpa to INTERPOL to aid his arrest.
“Ndigbo should know that Simon Ekpa will never return to Southeast again in the future and Igbo residents in Finland who had earlier disowned his actions and activities should aid the Nigerian Government and INTERPOL to arrest Simon Ekpa in other to stabilise the southeast and rescue the zone from the nefarious activities of his gang members masquerading as biafra agitators, who are interested in killing people and burning the public buildings.
“The tasks to preserve and rescue the Southeast should begin with the help of all Igbos in the diaspora and at home, to assist in the arrest of the worsening security challenges, dwindling of the economic and social activities caused by Ekpa’s rantings and illegal sit-at-home.
“Ndigbo has declared Simon Ifeanyi Njoku Ekpa on this day 23rd of January 2023 as the number one adversary and enemy of Ndigbo, who Ndigbo had caught sight of in the last 200 years,” he added.
Meanwhile, Asisat Oshoala came off the bench late in the game, but was heavily involved in 2 goals as 10 woman Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the semi-final on Thursday.

Then, she stole the ball from a Real Madrid defender, pushed it round the goalkeeper and Salma Paralluelo slammed it into the goal. This made the French Barcelona Femeni account to call her a demon.
Oshoala Leads Barca Femeni to Super Cup Win at Sociedad
SPORT | 40 mins ago
Super Falcons’ striker, Asisat Oshoala was on the score chart as Barcelona Femeni beat Real Sociedad 3-0 yesterday to win the Spanish Women’s Super-Cup for the second season running and extend their unbeaten run-in domestic competitions to 58 games.
The win came exactly one week after the male team defeated Real Madrid 3-1 to win the final match of the Super Cup in Riyadh last Sunday.
Aitana Bonmati scored a goal in each half and Oshoala added the third in what proved a comfortable win at the Estadio Romano in Merida.
Barca have now won the Super Cup in three of the four years since it was created in 2020, with Atletico Madrid the only team to stop them, beating them on penalties in the semi-final in 2021.
That was the last domestic trophy Barca failed to win. They went on to win a league and cup double in 2020-21, as well as the Champions League, and all three Spanish competitions last season: Liga F, the Copa de la Reina and the Super Cup.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, continue to show progress under Natalia Arroyo. They lost 10-1 to Barca in the Super Cup final in 2020 but have improved dramatically since then, finishing second in the league last season.
Barca survived a scare in the semifinal against Real Madrid to reach Sunday’s final as their 56-game winning run in Spanish competitions ended with a 1-1 draw in the Clasico.
However, even with a player sent off, they rallied to win after extra-time and there were no such complications against La Real.
They are still without injured duo Alexia Putellas and Caroline Graham Hansen, but Bonmati has stepped up in their absence and the midfielder made the difference here.
She opened the scoring in the 13th minute after good work from Geyse and then added Barca’s second in the 47th minute with a clean strike from the edge of the box.
Mariona Caldentey then hit the woodwork as Barca sought a third goal in front of 6,339 fans and Claudia Pina missed a late chance before Oshoala finally completed the scoring in stoppage time.
Jonatan Giraldez’s side return to league action on Wednesday against Levante Las Planas — where a win would mark 50 in a row in Liga F — but they face expulsion from the Copa de la Reina after fielding an ineligible player in the last round. A decision on their fate is expected next week.
Meanwhile, Asisat Oshoala came off the bench late in the game, but was heavily involved in 2 goals as 10 woman Barcelona beat Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup last week.
The match was played as part of a new partnership between Tigres of Meixico and Bayern Munich of Germany.
