The Federal Government has said it will take action against Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), who recently announced plans to declare the Biafra Republic on December 2, 2024.
Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, revealed that the government would respond appropriately through diplomatic channels, including the European Union, to extradite Ekpa from Finland.
“The FG would respond appropriately to the Finnish Government through the EU. On the part of the military, troops would sustain operations against IPOB/ESN,” General Buba stated.
Ekpa, who claims to be the Prime Minister of BRGIE, announced on his social media handle that the Biafra Government would unveil the map of the “40 United States of Biafra” and issue a declaration on December 2, 2024.
The move, according to Ekpa, aims to hasten the realization of Biafra’s independence. However, the Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to sustaining military operations against the Indigenous People of Biafra and Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN).
