Abaribe Explains Why Simon Ekpa Refuses to End Sit-At-Home in the South-East 

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe has reacted to Simon Ekpa’s reluctance to halt the sit-at-order home in South-East.
According to Abaribe, Ekpa, a self-proclaimed student of Nnamdi Kanu, is profiting off the region’s sit-at-home edict.
The federal member stated that officials from the southeast will work with the federal administration to find a solution.

Enyinnaya Abaribe, the lawmaker representing Abia South, has explained why Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa does not want to end the sit-at-home order.

According to Abaribe, the sit-at-home directive has turned into a money-making scam for Ekpa and his associates, as reported by TheCable.

Even with a handwritten message from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ekpa has refused to alter the sit-at-home order because they are profiting from it, Abaribe said

He added that the south-east leader will reach out to the federal government on how to come up with a solution.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng stated that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has directed Biafra agitator Simon Ekpa to cancel all sit-at-home orders in the South-East.
Kanu advised Ekpa “to make a public announcement to the effect that he (Ekpa) received a direct order from him (Kanu) to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment.”

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has given a new update on the sit-at-home order in Nigeria’s southeast region.
IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful claimed in a statement on Saturday, August 5, that the pro-Biafran group had designated every Monday as an “economic empowerment day” in the southeast.
