The Igbo socio -cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has slammed a whopping, $500, 000 bounty on Finland based factional leader, Simon Ekpa of declaring a second Biafra war in the Southeast.
Ohanaeze made the allegations on Thursdsay while announcing a $500, 000 bounty on the Biafra Agitator.
The group’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro made this known via a statement signed and released by him to pressmen.
The group appealed to president Tinubu to deploy soldiers to mount road block at every corner of the Southeast.
The statement reads partly: “We are telling Tinubu that the second Biafra war has begun and he should deploy soldiers to all the nooks and crannies of the Southeast.
“The Southeast governors need help and Ohanaeze is asking the Southeast governors to defend themselves from external enemies.
“At this point in time, we can’t allow somebody in far-away Finland to dictate the pace.
“The government of Ebonyi State and the Southeast must ensure that the terrorist activities of Ekpa are solved in his homeland.
“What we are saying is that Ekpa has declared a second civil war in the Southeast and anybody with useful information will be given $500, 000.
”This is a self-help to ensure that our people get a secure environment.
“The Southeast governors appear to be weak and they are using the wrong approach in dealing with Ekpa. Our suspicion has been confirmed that what Ekpa is doing is to destroy the economy of the Southeast.”
Ekpa has been at the centre of the renewed crisis across the Southeast following the sit-at-home he declared.
The latest sit-at-home had crippled the economy of the Southeast.
There were reports that some Biafra agitators stormed a market place in Ebonyi on Monday and shot sporadically into the air to scare people away from the market in a bid to enforce the sit at home order.
