BREAKING: Nnamdi Kanu writes Simon Ekpa, orders end to sit-at-home in Southeast

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB, has ordered Simon Ekpa, a Biafra agitator living in Finland, to put an end to all sit-at-home protests in the Southeast.

Ekpa was also told to quit provoking politicians or governors from the southeast by Kanu.

He issued a warning that anyone who enforces sit-at-home orders in the Southeast is not one of his disciples and ought to be made to face the full force of the law.

The instruction was given by the IPOB leader in a telegram to Ekpa, which his Special Counsel, Aloy Ejimakor, made public on Friday.

Kanu was quoted by Ejimakor as stating to media in Enugu: “Simon, this is a direct command from me. You have my permission to stop scheduling any future sit-at-home meetings. You should also avoid provoking governors or other political figures because you have no way of knowing what they are up to 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 authorised 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.”
