The petitioners called on the Finnish government, Nigerian government and the European Union to arrest Ekpa, the brain behind the order.

Thousands of Nigerians are calling for the arrest of Finland-based Simon Ekpa, a self-accalimed member of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPB), following the five-day sit-at-home order that has led to the killing of many residents in the South-East recently.

The petitioners called on the Finnish government, Nigerian government and the European Union to arrest Ekpa, the brain behind the order.

As of Thursday afternoon, over 2700 persons had signed the petition seeking for Ekpa’s arrest.

Ekpa, had in a viral video, ordered the people of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home from December 9 to 14, 2022 – an order that has been marked by bloodshed and destruction of lives and properties in the region by its enforcers.

Although IPOB, through its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, denied issuing such an order, violence had continued to reign in the region.

Consequently, aggrieved Nigerians are signing the petition calling for Ekpa’s arrest for “terrorism and genocide.”

The petition reads, “We call on the Finnish Government, EU, The Nigerian Government to arrest Mr. Simon Ekpa, and investigate all his heinous crimes and terror activities in Eastern Nigeria.

“One Simon Ekpa (also known as Ifeanyi Njoku), a Nigerian living in Finland, and holding Finnish citizenship, has by proxies, successfully established and coordinated an armed rebel group in Eastern Nigeria whom he now wields to destroy lives, property, and businesses in Eastern Nigeria.

“He’s been seen countless times, using his media platforms in Finland to issue orders to his armed goons in Eastern Nigeria to launch deadly attacks on millions of people in the region for flouting his sit-at-home orders.

“Simon is a separatist fighting for state secession but has never been brave enough to come home and lead the war from the front in Nigeria.

“He is rather igniting and fueling terror on his ethnic group who decline his call for secession.

“Simon’s action is stirring up bloodbath – a genocide in the region, and innocent women, children, the aged and youths are the victims dying everyday.

“Sign the petition, and share it everywhere, to call on the Finnish Government, EU, The Nigerian Government to arrest Mr. Simon Ekpa, and investigate all his heinous crimes and terror activities in Eastern Nigeria.”

Simon is such a nice-sounding name, evoking images of New testament apostles, pious sages of old, and well-raised adolescents.

How can a man named Simon be so wicked?

Can somebody tell me one petition that has been signed by many Nigerians that has had a direct impact on the said target?

He should be deported Asap

Where are the thousands of nigerians?

What laughing stock? It's all in your mind.

Nigeria that every young girl in Kenya, Jamaica, Uganda and Ghana is dying to sound like Genevieve Nnaji?

Nigeria, whose music has taken the whole world by storm, and is being played on every radio station and in ever club worth its salt everywhere on Earth today?

Nigeria, whose national cuisine has gone viral on TikTok and Youtube, with thousands of content creators and influencers trying out Nigerian fufu and egusi, and jollof for the first time before adoring millions of followers worldwide?

Are you aware that Nigerian restaurants in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia etc have been doing a ROARING TRADE as people of those nations QUEUE UP OUTSIDE to buy Nigerian food, as a result of the social media viral sensation that is Nigerian cuisine?

The same Nigeria that Ghanaians and Kenyans are on YouTube lamenting over their countries' inability to replicate Nigeria's global success in the entertainment industry?

Which Nigeria are you on about?

Somebody will just sit in his village and be talking 'Nigeria'.

You don't know Nigeria abeg.

We love what Simon ekpa is doing in the south east. Nothing must happen to him. Una never see anything. Ekpa please ride on with the good job.

Nigerians?

Nobody signed a petition for Deborah's killers to face Justice why?
