Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, has said that he is exonerating their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, from any actions that will be carried out by Biafrans.
Ekpa made this known in a video shared via his Twitter handle on Sunday.
According to the video, Ekpa said, “The reason for us not taking orders anymore from the DSS dungeon is to safeguard our leader. We want our leader to be safe, we want to exonerate our leader from anything that Biafrans will be doing for his own best interests.
“So any actions that Biafra people will be taking in Biafra land you don’t attach Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to it. Any actions that Biafrans will be taking in Biafra land for the freedom of Biafra, freedom of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and freedom of all prisoners of conscience you do not bring Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to it.”
NPO Reported that a letter written by Kanu asking Ekpa to call off the sit-at-home had gone viral on Thursday. But Ekpa had dismissed the letter as fake saying the sit at home must continue.
However, confirming the letter by Nnamdi Kanu, his brother, Kanunta Kanu, said in response to the claims by the Finland based leader of the armed wing of IPOB, Simon EKpa that a letter written by Kanu asking for an end to the sit-at-home was fake.
Kanu’s brother had posted on his twitter page, “Calling for Sit At Home when you want is your choice, but do NOT use #MaziNnamdiKanu name to do so”.
“Sit At Home in #Biafraland is hereby cancelled by #MNK.
“If Sit At Home is your new franchise, please do that with your name.”
