The Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide has asked the people of the Southeast to ignore the sit-at-home order by Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu.
It placed a $50, 000 bounty on the Finland-based Ekpa.
Ekpa had declared sit-at-home on Monday and Tuesday across the Southeast.
However, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, declared Ekpa the number one enemy of the Igbo nation, hence the sit-at-home should be nullified.
In a statement by Isiguzoro, Ohanaeze urged Southeast governors to declare Monday and Tuesday public holidays to allow people of the Southeast to get their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs.
He urged the Southeast Governors to emulate the wisdom of the Abia State Government to declare public holidays on the same days for the people to go out and get their PVCs before the deadline on 29th of January 2023.
“Ndigbo has placed a bounty reward of $50, 000 for anyone who has useful information on how Simon Ekpa will be apprehended for his extradition and prosecution in Nigeria, to answer the law of land over his criminalities, incitement of violent killings, and, burning of public properties in the name of self-determination.”
Ohanaeze urged Igbos residents in Finland to report Ekpa to INTERPOL to aid his arrest.
