Abia south senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has disclosed that the sit-at-home order by a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, has become a money-making scheme in the south-east.
Abaribe made the revelation in an interview with ChannelsTV and monitored by Politics Nigeria on Monday evening.
According to the outspoken lawmaker, Ekpa and his cohorts are refusing to reverse the Monday sit-at-home order for personal gains.
“Of course, the man who is profiting from it, who is far away in Finland, denounced it and put more conditions saying they will never stop it until we (south-east leaders) see him in Finland,” Abaribe said.
“We can now see that because they profit from this, they are not going to stop it because it has become a money-making venture.
“We have seen adverts on the internet asking people to contribute money for the liberation of Biafra.”
Abaribe pointed out that south-east leaders have agreed to meet with President Bola Tinubu’s government over Kanu’s continued detention.
