Simon Ekpa calls Nnamdi Kanu's handwritten letter fake; demands for his release

Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa has described as fake a handwritten letter by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra calling for an end to the sit-at-home in the South East.

On Friday, a handwritten letter was read to the press by Nnamdi Kanu's lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor. In the letter he called for the end to sit-at-homes in the southeast, and instructed Simon Ekpa to desist from making such orders.

Over a period of time, Simon Ekpa had ordered a sit-at-home in the South East in an attempt to force the federal government to released Nnamdi Kanu.

Unfortunately, the sit-at-home has left many residents with severe injuries following the attack by some IPOB members who parade the streets to deal with persons who fail to obey the directive.

Kanu's letter read in parts;

“Simon, this is a direct order from me. I hereby instruct you to desist from calling for any Sit-at-Home henceforth. Equally refrain from antagonizing Governors or persons in political positions because you are not in a position to know what they are doing on my behalf. I am ordering you to make a public announcement to the effect that you are in receipt of a direct order from me to cancel any pending Sit-at-Home in place at the moment. I embarked on this movement to liberate our people not to enslave them. I despise and will despise any person or entity that wishes to inflict unnecessary hardship on our people. I have authorized Aloy to issue a press statement if you fail to make this announcement on your platform.

“Anybody still engaging in Sit-at-Home is not my disciple. Haters of Biafra and mindless murderers in uniform are hiding under the cover of combating enforcers of Sit-at-Home to unleash mayhem against the same people we swore to defend.

“I have sent countless messages to those purportedly enforcing Sit-at-Home that they are not doing so in my name. I am not begging anybody to release me just that Nigeria should have the decency to obey their own laws.

However, Simon Kalu has called on members of the IPOB to disregard the fake letter and insists the letter originated from the Department of State Security, DSS who are holding Kanu in their custody and not its leader.

"BRGIE @BiafraRGIE ANNOUNCEMENT

Our attention has been drawn to the fake letter from the pit of hell being paraded by @SaharaReporters and other Nigeria media claiming that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wrote a letter.

It is not only a joke but an insult taking too far that the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra is being misrepresented in this way.

As the Prime Minister of Biafra under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, i call on all Biafrans to disregard the fake letter coming from DSS. We can’t take any order from the Islamic DSS and that is final.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must be released and he must address Biafrans from Finland.
That is the condition of the Prime Minister of Biafra and the Biafra Republic Government In Exile."
