The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Friday revealed that the self acclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE) Simon Ekpa is not their member.
Edum News reports that the development is following Ekpa’s arrest and detention in Finland.
Recall that Ekpa was arrested alongside four others by the government of Finland over terror-related activities.
Reacting to his arrest, IPOB in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, accused Ekpa of recruiting violent criminals to destabilize the South East Region.
IPOB therefore disowned him noting that Ekpa is never a registered member of IPOB.
The statement partly reads, “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the news of the arrest and subsequent claim by the infamous Prime Minister of Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE) Simon Ekpa of being an IPOB member. To set the records and facts straight, Simon Ekpa has never been a member of the global IPOB family movement.”
