The
detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has
ordered the self-acclaimed imposter of his cause, Simon Ekpa to henceforth
desist from calling for any sit-at-home order in the South East or any part of
Nigeria. In his handwritten message, Kanu also directed Ekpa to make public
announcement to that effect.
Addressing
a world press conference in Enugu Friday, on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB, Aloy Ejimakor, Esq. produced the original
handwritten message personally signed Nnamdi Kanu mandating Simon Ekpa to
desist from calling for sit-at-home with immediate effect.
“This
Public Announcement bears (as shall be reproduced below) the unedited, verbatim
Instructions containing a Direct Order personally issued
by MAZI NNAMDI KANU in his own handwriting on 24th July, 2023
through me to MAZI SIMON EKPA, instructing him to ‘desist from calling for any Sit-at-Home
henceforth’ and ‘to make a
public announcement to the effect that he (Mazi Simon Ekpa) is in receipt of a
direct order from him (Mazi Nnamdi Kanu) to cancel any pending Sit-at-Home in
place at the moment’; and also that he (Mazi Nnamdi KAnu) has, by the
same order, ‘authorized me to issue a
press statement if he (Mazi Simon Ekpa) fails to make this announcement on his
platform’.
“For
avoidance of doubt, this Direct Order was personally handed to me by Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu when I visited him on the said 24th July, 2023 at the headquarters
of the Department of State Security (DSS), Abuja. Later that day, I tried to
contact Mazi Simon Ekpa via his WhatsApp number but could not reach him until
1:44AM the following day (25th July, 2023), whereupon I snapped the
Direct Order as written and sent to him. He thereafter acknowledged receipt and
we spoke briefly on it and exchanged a couple text messages thereof.
“Since
that early 25th July, 2023 (when I conveyed the Order to Mazi EKPA and he duly
acknowledged it, he has not implemented the Order or otherwise made such
announcement on his media platform. Nonetheless, I made a conscious decision to
give him the benefit of doubt and thereby accord him more time to do the
needful.

“Then,
late yesterday, further written Instructions was issued by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to
me, referring to the extant Direct Order to Mazi Ekpa and, in addition,
instructing me that given that Mazi Ekpa has not carried out the Order, I must,
as of today, being 28th July 2023, proceed to make the Order public
through a Public Announcement/Press Statement. In the said further instructions,
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu added more pertinent details and instructed that I must
equally make them public.
“Accordingly,
and as of Counsel, bound by duty and the solemn oath of my noble profession to
faithfully and zealously implement my Client’s clear Instructions without any
fear or favor, I now therefore reproduce verbatim the contents of said Direct Order to
Mazi Simon Ekpa (at the first Paragraph) and the related further Instructions
(from the second Paragraph to the end), as follows:
“Simon, this is a direct order from me. I hereby instruct you to desist from calling
for any Sit-at-Home henceforth. Equally refrain from antagonizing Governors or
persons in political positions because you are not in a position to know what
they are doing on my behalf. I am ordering you to make a public announcement to
the effect that you are in receipt of a direct order from me to cancel any
pending Sit-at-Home in place at the moment. I embarked on this movement to
liberate our people not to enslave them. I despise and will despise any person
or entity that wishes to inflict unnecessary hardship on our people. I have
authorized Aloy to issue a press statement if you fail to make this
announcement on your platform”.
“Anybody still engaging in Sit-at-Home is not
my disciple. Haters of Biafra and mindless murderers in uniform are hiding
under the cover of combating enforcers of Sit-at-Home to unleash mayhem against
the same people we swore to defend”.
“I have sent countless messages to those
purportedly enforcing Sit-at-Home that they are not doing so in my name. I am
not begging anybody to release me just that Nigeria should have the decency to
obey their own laws”.
“The main issue which our people should
address their minds to is the unconscionable delays in hearing the government
appeal at the Supreme Court, which is a situation not amenable to any
Sit-at-Home. Therefore Sit-at-Home is a waste of time, resources and energy.”
“Those who may not understand the genesis of
the Sit-at-Home should refer to my younger brother's press statement on the eve
of the commencement of the original order issued by the IPOB family. My brother
made it clear to the DOS that I was against the order for people to stay at
home under whatever guise. This caused a rift between my siblings and DOS till
date.”
“Aloy should use the above contributions to
form the main body of the press statement. I want our people to know how this
whole sit-at-home brouhaha started. Had DOS obeyed my direct instructions to
cancel the first Monday sit-at-home, opportunistic scavengers would not have
jumped on the bandwagon to wreak havoc on our people I want our people to know
how this whole Sit-at-Home brouhaha started.”
*You (Aloy) must release the press statement
tomorrow with the screenshot of the handwritten note I gave to you unfailingly”.
Signed:
Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu.”
In
conclusion, I hereby affirm upon my honor as of Counsel that above words (in
quotation) and the attached handwritten Note are the words of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
and his handwriting.
So help me God.
Aloy Ejimakor, Esq.
Special Counsel to Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB
