Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, claimed Kanu told him that the federal government is bankrolling Simon Ekpa.
Ekpa is the prime minister of Biafran Republican Government in Exile. Kanu last Friday ordered Ekpa not to be ordering sit-at-home in the South East states, describing Ekpa’s orders as counterproductive. However, Ekpa refused the directive.
Ejiofor made the revelation after visiting Kanu where he is being detained at the custody of the State Services in Abuja.
Ejiofor tweeted, “Nnamdi Kanu was very emphatic that Simon Ekpa is procured and fully bankrolled by the Nigerian Government for the purpose of causing unrest in our region.
“Onyendu used the opportunity provided by the visit to remind our people and all Ezigbo Umuchineke to note that whoever still goes about to observe any unauthorized sit-at-home directive should know that he or she is working for the Nigerian Government to destroy our once peaceful land.
“Onyendu directed our people to check records of freedom fighters across the world and tell or identify anybody, if any, whose style of liberating his or her people is to impose economic hardship and unimaginable terror on the same people.
“Onyendu observed that the evil activities of these marauders, which have no connection with freedom fighting, also extend to perpetration of all forms of violent crimes in our region, which include but are not limited to kidnapping and killings.
“Other far-reaching directives Onyendu handed down today on how to nip the activities of Ekpa and his criminal cohorts in the bud shall remain private.”
