Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed disciple of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has officially announced the end of the five-day sit-at-home order in the southeast region of Nigeria.

Naija News reports that Simon Ekpa, who claimed to be a disciple of Kanu, took to YouTube on Wednesday night to announced the end of the five-day sit-at-home order.

Kanu’s self acclaimed disciple, who is based in Finland, described the five days sit-at-home order which was characterised by killings and destruction of properties in the region as “historic and successful” for Biafraland.

Meanwhile, Naija News earlier reported that thousands of Nigerians have come out to sign a petition for the arrest of Ekpa.

They have appealed to the both the Finnish and the Nigerian governments as well as the European Union to effect his arrest.

It was gathered that as of Thursday morning, the petition had been signed by 2,761 persons.

Part of the petition reads: “One Simon Ekpa (also known as Ifeanyi Njoku), a Nigerian living in Finland, and holding Finnish citizenship, has by proxies, successfully established and coordinated an armed rebel group in Eastern Nigeria whom he now wields to destroy lives, property, and businesses in Eastern Nigeria.

“He’s been seen countless times, using his media platforms in Finland to issue orders to his armed goons in Eastern Nigeria to launch deadly attacks on millions of people in the region for flouting his sit-at-home orders.

“Simon is a separatist fighting for state secession but has never been brave enough to come home and lead the war from the front in Nigeria. He is rather igniting and fueling terror on his ethnic group who decline his call for secession.

“Simon’s action is stirring up bloodbath – a genocide in the region, and innocent women, children, the aged and youths are the victims dying everyday.

“Sign the petition, and share it everywhere, to call on the Finnish Government, EU, The Nigerian Government to arrest Mr. Simon Ekpa, and investigate all his heinous crimes and terror activities in Eastern Nigeria.”
