He is an anti-igbo, Terrorist, Criminal as South-East State halis arrest of Simon Ekpa
The Enugu State Government has lauded the Republic of Finland for arresting Simon Ekpa, the Finland-based leader of the Autopilots, describing him as a criminal, fraudster, and terrorist who has shown no regard for the wellbeing of the Igbo people.
In a forceful statement, the government described Ekpa as a ruthless individual who has profited from the suffering of his people, fueling violence and chaos.
It further expressed Enugu’s readiness to provide any necessary evidence of Ekpa’s role in crimes committed against Ndigbo, offering full support for his prosecution, whether in Finland or Nigeria.
The statement, issued by Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, the Secretary to the State Government, was made public on Friday.
The statement reads: “The Enugu State Government welcomes the arrest of the Finland-based terrorist, Simon Ekpa.
“His arrest and trial will no doubt go a long way in strengthening peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South East.
“This arrest is in line with the demand of Governor Peter Mbah administration, which has repeatedly made it known that Ekpa is a megalomaniac, common criminal, murderer, and fraudster, who takes joy in feeding fat on the manipulated emotions of Ndigbo and inflicting misery on the South East region.
“Ekpa has for long, and unfortunately from Finland, made a living by creating a siege climate and mentality in the South East, destroying lives, property, and the Igbo trademark of entrepreneurship and hard work. He thrives on manipulating, exploiting, and extorting the people on the pretext of fighting for their interest and for the restoration of Biafra.”
