Nnamdi Kanu’s Lawyer Drags Simon Ekpa To Court | READ DETAILS
The lead counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has filed a lawsuit against Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the IPOB based in Finland.
Ejiofor filed the lawsuit on Tuesday, December 13, 2022 before a Federal High Court in Abuja over Ekpa’s violent, disturbing and false declarations.
Recall that Simon Ekpa had ordered a 5-day sit-at-home in the south east which resulted in bloodshed and burning of properties by the enforcers of the order.
The IPOB have been fingered as those sponsoring the violent attacks with the separatist group on several occasions, refuting such claims.
Taking to his social media handle to announce the legal action taken against Simon Ekpa, Barrister Ejiofor wrote;
UPDATE ON LEGAL ACTION AGAINST SIMON EKPA.
Today, we formally commenced a legal action before the FCT High Court against Simon Ekpa, which action is founded on a plethora of grave infractions arising from his violent, disturbing and false declarations.
I may not release further details here so that it will not prejudice the robust legal actions already lined up for him and his cohorts. It shall be coming in piecemeal. This is the first batch.
I also want to assure Simon Ekpa and his cohorts affected by this compelling legal action, that no matter the country you people believe to be presently hiding under its sovereign protection, the full arms of the law shall certainly catch up with you all, in the legal onslaught already commenced. This is just one in the long line of compelling civil and criminal litigation coming your way.
The hour has come, and I wish to reiterate that you Simon Ekpa cannot escape from the long arms of the law.
