The spokesperson and the new phase of the terrorist group Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra IPOB Mr. Simon Ekpa has once again issued another sit at home order to the people of the Southeastern Nigeria the stronghold of the proscribed terrorist group starting from today 23 February, 2023 lasting for a whole one week.
The implication is that many areas of the Southeast will not participate in the Saturday's general elections and those that do must be ready to experience gruesome lost of lives and properties courtesy of the dreaded Ipob's arm wing the BSS, ESN aka UGM.
Nigerian Government has for sometimes now gone to court and seek an oder to brand the group as a terrorist organization due to the groups use of violence to achieve political aim through intimidating, murder, bombings rape, kidnapping amongst other violent crimes.
Also the Government and critical stakeholders from the Southeast has called the attention of the Finnish Government ( Ekpa's state of residence) and the international community about Ekpa's use of Finland as a safe heaven to perpetrate violent crimes against in Nigeria.
Ekpa has been encouraging bloodsheed,on social media from Finland to his hordes of blood hungry cannibals encouraging violence and violent crimes against innocent people the Finnish Government has feigned ignorance and continue to allow Ekpa to use it's territories as a sanctuary to perpetrate crimes against the people and Nigerian state.
This indeed qualified the Finnish Government as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The State Department describes state sponsors of terrorism as “countries
determined by the Secretary of State to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.” The law presupposes material support, even though it does not expressly describe it as such. However, the law is very explicit about one particular form of sponsorship. According to the U.S. Code, support includes, “the recurring use of any
part of the territory of the country as a sanctuary for terrorists and terrorism organizations,” whether the government, “expressly consents to, or with knowledge,
allows, tolerates, or disregards such use of its territory.”
It could be recalled that last few weeks the Nigerian Government summoned the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria in order to interrogate and discuss the Ekpa issue and seek cooperation of the Finnish Government in that regards, it is expected that the Government of Finland will do the needful and handover Ekpa to the Nigerian State for prosecution.
It will be very difficult that Finland will arrest Ekpa not to talk of handing him over to the Nigerian State if we consider how the Government of UK under different prime ministers continue to offer safe heaven to the IPOB's leader Nnamdi Kanu until he was arrested in Kenya with the cooperation of Nigeria and Kenyan Governments.
Europe and America will continue to sponsor acts of terrorism in Africa and beyond in oder to cause chaos and war which will give them the opportunity to continue stealing our resources.
