From CHARLES ONYEKWERE,
ABAKILIKI
Apex lgbo socio-cultural Organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has reiterated its earlier stand on Simon Ekpa’s saying that declaring him wanted would be an overall interest for South-East zone and end the sit-at-home.
Ohanaeze had recently in other to prevent further nefarious activities of Ekpa on the ongoing search for Biafra agitation, placed a substantial bounty of $ 500,000 on his head.
A statement on Sunday issued and signed by it’s Secretary-general, Mazi Okechukwu lsiguzoro accused the Finland-based Biafra agitator being responsible for the recent surge in violence, insecurity, and economic disruption in south-East Nigeria.
“Simon Ekpa, hailing from Ebonyi State in Southeast Nigeria, has been implicated in orchestrating a series of disruptive activities, including the enforcement of a Sit-at-Home order that paralyzed the region for one week, from 3rd to 9th July 2023.
According to Ohanaeze’s statement, the sit-at-home order resulted in significant loss of lives and severely crippled the economic and social activities in the Southeast zone.
” In response to Ekpa’s actions, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has placed a substantial bounty of $500,000 on Ekpa’s head, the reward is offered to anyone who can provide useful information leading to Ekpa’s capture and subsequent arrest.
It stated that Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in collaboration with South-East political leaders, is resolute in bringing Ekpa to justice for his atrocities and alleged sponsorship of armed groups in the region.
The body stated that recent developments indicate that Ekpa was tracked down in the Espoo city of Finland on 21st July 2023, but managed to evade capture with unbearable and severe injuries.
“He is presently believed to be receiving medical treatment at an disclosed hospital in Havana, Cuba. It has come to our attention that Ekpa is undergoing urgent plastic surgery in the last 48hours which further emphasizes the need for his swift apprehension.
“Nevertheless, Ekpa’s allies has been releasing old recorded videos in order to continue to hoodwink his followers, conceal his recent ordeals and near capture, but Igbo mercenaries in diaspora are closing on him.
Following the imminent threats posed by Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile, Ohanaeze Ndigbo implores the people of Southeast Nigeria to rise up and put an end to his nefarious and infamous activities.

Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
