Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the Counsel for the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has urged the people of the South East to moblise and restore peace to their region.

He said this in a statement shared with the press about the insecurity in the South East on Monday, November 25, 2024.

Ejiofor’s comment comes following the arrest of the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic in Exile, Simon Ekpa.

Although Ejiofor did not mention Ekpa’s name, he recalled; “I have always maintained that lies, deceit, fraud, treachery, and criminality have an expiration date. When the truth reaches its breaking point, it is inevitable: Game Over!!!

“To those still clinging to baseless December declaration, rest assured, December will come and go uneventfully. In the past, when fantastical claims about fighter jets and warships were peddled as obvious tools for self-aggrandizement by the serial fraudster, I warned those willing to listen that they had been swindled. My stance earned me severe criticism, threats, and defamation. But today, where do we stand?”

It was his view that; “It is time for those who profess to have been deceived by an unrepentant serial fraudster to pause, reflect, and retreat. Let us restore peace in our land, so the custodians of Igbo heritage can seek ways to appease the gods for the atrocities committed against our people.

“There is indeed no gainsaying that Ndi Igbo are deeply marginalized in the Nigerian political setting and system, however, true struggles for the liberation of the oppressed must reject violence, fraud, criminality, and abuse as strategies. Freedom can never be won through such means. There’s absolutely no wisdom in cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face,” Ejiofor advised.

It is known that Simon Ekpa and Ejiofor have been at loggerheads with the two verbally attacking each other on social media.
