Sit-at-home: Senate seeks Simon Ekpa extradition from Finland
The Senate has demanded that the Federal Government should approach the Finnish government to extradite Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Ekpa is the head of the Auto Pilot, a faction of IPOB, who has continued to order his loyalists to enforce sit-at-home in the South-East region, crippling economic activities in the area.
The sit-at-home which is mostly enforced on Mondays, has led to unrest in the southeast region.
The Senate noted that thousands of innocent people has been killed since this action started, and property worth over trillions of naira destroyed, making investors to leave the region.
This was part of the resolutions of the Senate on Wednesday.
It was based on a motion titled, “Condemning the Disruptive Nature of ‘Sit-At-Home’ Demonstrations in the South East-Nigeria, sponsored by Senator Osita Izunaso, APC, Imo West and co- sponsored by 14 other Senators.
The third prayer in the motion urging the Federal Government to use political solution approach in handling the case of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu was rejected by the senators.
