Notorious leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa has stated that a letter from the Finnish government ordering him to end sit-at-home is fake.
Ekpa, who has been accused of masterminding killings in Nigeria and crippling economic activities throughout the South East through sit-at-home mocked those who were sharing the order.
“My attention has been drawn to the fake letter being shared by desperate Nigeria criminals. Please disregard it, Nigeria is known for forgery, scam, internet fraud, crimes and that’s why we are fighting to exit such evil foundation, a country that its citizens make living through forgery,” he wrote in a tweet.
The letter that is circulated on social media purportedly from the government of Finland to Simon Ekpa reads, “Following complaints by Nigerians in Finland and the Nigerian Government about your various pronouncements, using social media outlets, to impose sit-at-homes in Nigeria, you are hereby warned to desist from such nefarious activities which are capable of disturbing the peace and
causing bloodshed.
“More worrying to the Finnish Government is your imposition of sit-at-homes on days slated for democratic elections in Nigeria. This is an act of international terrorism.
“You are hereby directed to call off your planned sit-at-homes by pronouncing through the same media outlets, you used for your illegal pronouncements, a reversal of your sit-at-home orders.
“Mr. Simon Ekpa, you have 48 hours to reverse course or you will be arrested and charged with international terrorism.
“I have directed my Attorney General, Raija Toiviainen, to ensure that my directive is immediately carried out,” the statement said.
