The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to deploy soldiers to every corner of the Southeast, alleging that Finland-based agitator Simon Ekpa has declared a second Biafra war in the region.
Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, stated that Ekpa has been at the centre of the renewed crisis across the Southeast following the sit-at-home he declared.
Ohanaeze, who also placed $500,000 on Ekpa, explained that they can’t allow somebody in far-away Finland to dictate the pace; hence, the Southeast state governments must ensure that the terrorist activities of Ekpa are solved in his homeland.
“We are telling Tinubu that the second Biafra war has begun, and he should deploy soldiers to all the nooks and crannies of the Southeast.
“The Southeast governors need help, and Ohanaeze is asking the Southeast governors to defend themselves from external enemies.
“What we are saying is that Ekpa has declared a second civil war in the Southeast, and anybody with useful information will be given $500 000.
They posited that the Southeastern governors appear weak and are using the wrong approach in dealing with Ekpa.
