A faction of the Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has placed a $50,000 bounty on Simon Ekpa, the self-styled disciple of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, over his (Ekpa’s) renewed sit-at-home order in the South-East.
The Finland-based Ekpa who is the leader of a breakaway Biafra group, IPOB-Auto Pilot, had, last week, ordered a new sit-at-home regime every Monday across the region but the factional Ohanaeze, in a statement on Monday, urged the people to disregard such orders.
In the statement issued by the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the group declared Ekpa the number one enemy of the Igbo nation who is hiding in a foreign country while doing everything possible to destabilise the region.
