The user with the handle @Uchechukwubiaf4 stated that the true intentions of Ekpa must be exposed, as they are affecting Kanu’s chances of being released on bail by the courts.

“I’m pleased that people from other tribes in Nigeria and around the world are starting to see the true intentions of Simon Ekpa, who has been paid to tarnish the image of IPOB (Indigenous People of Biafra) and ESN (Eastern Security Network) operatives, as well as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,” the post reads.

Mixed reactions have followed the post.

IPOB has made several attempts to disassociate itself from Simon Ekpa. The latest effort came from the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, who urged the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, to stop linking the group with the Finland-based Simon Ekpa’s autopilot group.

IPOB insisted that it had no connection with Ekpa and his group.

The pro-Biafran group responded to claims by the governor that the police neutralized 27 kidnapping gangs of Eastern Security Network members loyal to Ekpa at various locations in the state.

In a statement on Thursday, September 5, Emma Powerful, said the claims were not only false but also “cheap propaganda” against IPOB and ESN, insisting that Ekpa’s autopilot group and the 27 kidnapping gangs were not members of IPOB.

“The global family of IPOB wishes to debunk the fabricated and fallacious news peddled by the Enugu State governor’s media office, where they claim that the Nigerian Police neutralised 27 kidnapping gangs of ESN members loyal to the Finland-based group at various locations in Enugu State.

“The claim is not only false but also a cheap propaganda against IPOB and ESN. According to the report, the Enugu State governor’s media office claimed that the Nigerian Police neutralised 27 criminals and kidnappers within two weeks at various locations in the state.

“The Nigerian Police and Enugu State government said that some of the neutralised criminals are pro-Biafra agitators loyal to the Finland-based double agent.

“Then why did they turn around and associate these criminals with the noble IPOB family? In the usual malicious intent, the police claimed that the so-called neutralised criminals were ESN operatives loyal to autopilot IPOB,” the statement read.
