Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed follower of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has urged Southeast Nigeria natives living in Lagos to participate in a sit-at-home exercise following an alleged attack on them.
Despite his disengagement from IPOB due to his refusal to sign the rules of engagement for the operation of Radio Biafra, Ekpa has continuously expressed support for the Biafra agitation, leading a faction of IPOB known as “Autopilots.”
In a tweet on Tuesday, Ekpa stated that the sit-at-home exercise aimed to cripple the economy of the Lagos state government and was applicable to all Biafrans doing business in Lagos, including shop owners and commercial bus drivers.
