Enugu Government Vows to Expose Simon Ekpa’s Atrocities Amid Trial for Terrorism
The Enugu State Government has pledged to present evidence against Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed leader of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), accusing him of inciting violence and exploiting the Igbo people.
Simon Ekpa was recently arrested in Finland and charged with spreading terrorist propaganda, a case linked to activities dating back to 2021.
His arrest has been welcomed as a crucial step toward restoring peace in Nigeria’s southeast, a region plagued by violence allegedly linked to his IPOB faction.
Describing Ekpa as a “criminal and fraudster,” the Enugu government claimed he thrives on extorting and manipulating Ndigbo under the guise of championing their cause.
It emphasized that his actions have caused significant harm to lives, property, and the entrepreneurial spirit of the southeast.
The state reaffirmed its commitment to providing evidence of Ekpa’s atrocities to ensure justice and aid the ongoing trial. Officials believe this will strengthen peace and stability across the southeast.
Lagos State Police react to claims of them taking money from dispatch riders on the Coastal Road in Lagos.
It started after a rumour was shared that police arrest and take money from riders as a demand for high bribes, sometimes reaching ₦200,000, and seize motorcycles if not given.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”
It has been announced by the governor of Ogun that Tuesday 3rd of February is a public holiday in order to mark the 50th anniversary of the state creation.
This public holiday declaration was released in a statement by the secretary of the state, Tokunbo Talabi.
He then added that the holiday will provide as a day for the citizens to participate in the activities for the state milestone.
Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
In the same video, he speaks about Nigeria’s current economy and shares his disappointment.
He wrote, “See country, God help us to build a true nation where our wicked leaders will be in jail and the right people in power. Nigeria must be fixed. YES WE CAN.”
However, many state that what he posted and what he is saying contradict each other, and they accused him of sharing his own records to know if he was a corrupt leader.
