Simon Ekpa: Nigerian Gov’t engaging EU to extradite BRGIE leader

Major General Edward Buba, the Director of Defence Media Operations, has announced that the federal government will take appropriate diplomatic action through the European Union in response to Simon Ekpa’s social media post declaring December 2, 2024, as the date for the presentation of the map and official declaration of the Biafra Republic.

In his statement, General Buba emphasized that while military operations against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) will continue, the federal government plans to leverage diplomatic channels to bring Simon Ekpa, who is currently in Finland, to justice.

He said, “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,”.

Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), announced that the government will unveil the map of the “40 United States of Biafra” and issue a declaration on December 2, 2024.

Ekpa, who claims to be the Prime Minister of BRGIE, announced via his official social media handle.
