Fulani In Complete Control Of Security In Enugu Government House – Simon Ekpa
All security officials from top to bottom in the Enugu Government House security architecture are Fulani, controversial factional leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, Simon Ekpa has alleged.
In what is regarded as the first interview with a national newspaper, Ekpa also denied responsibility for the wanton killings in the Southeast, putting the blame rather on masked government security operatives.
Ekpa who is wanted in Nigeria and has been blamed for issuing Sit-At-Home orders from his base in Finland spoke in an interview with Vanguard.
Defending his agitation despite increasing opposition from mainstream Igbo leaders, Ekpa said:
“I am fighting for the Igbo. I am fighting for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He is in the DSS dungeon and being detained illegally. Negotiation for peace starts with releasing him.”
“Court has discharged him. But you are in a country where Boko Haram terrorists are being set free, being given amnesty every day. They are not fighting for the nation. They are fighting for the Islamic agenda and they are well-known terrorists all over the world, brutal terrorists who have killed women and children and they are not hiding it.
“When they get to court or surrender as they claim, they rehabilitate them and recruit them into the Nigerian Army and send them to the southeast to start killing our people.”
Noting that the Fulani are in complete control of the security architecture in the Enugu Government House, Simon Ekpa said:
“As I am talking to you today, every security chief, from the lowest to the highest within the Government House of Enugu is controlled by the Fulani and the Northerners. Are you aware of that?
“Now I am telling you as a media person, but you should be aware as a media person; these are the problems. The chief security officers of the Enugu State Government are all Northerners and many of them are related to the Islamic State, so how can you continue to live in a system like that?”
Dissociating himself from the violence in the Southeast, Simon Ekpa said:
“Whenever we call for a sit-at-home, these people will unleash these armed groups to go and start causing problems to tag it Biafra, thinking that when they do that, we are going to run away.
“We have been shouting about it for a very long time. So, if you want to look for who are the people responsible for the violence in the South East, look at these armed people sponsored by politicians.
“Look at Ugochinyere Ikenga for example, a House of Representative member from Imo State; if you listened to his interview on Arise TV last time, his house was invaded, burnt. Cars were burnt to ashes, properties worth millions were destroyed and people were killed.
“The CCTV caught the people that came in and they happened to be the Nigerian security agents. If the CCTV was not there, they would accuse IPOB,” Simon Ekpa said following his claims of Fulani control of Enugu Government House
