Biafra: Ekpa warns against IDP camp in Imo

Leader of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, BRGIE, Simon Ekpa, has warned against misrepresentation of Biafra agitation.

Ekpa, the self-acclaimed Prime Minister of BRGIE, said this while warning against an alleged plan to settle refugees, migrants and internally displaced persons, IDPs, in Imo State.

Ekpa disclosed this in a statement through his official X account.

His comments are in reaction to a recent viral video that alleged that the government planned to settle refugees, IDPs and migrants at the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN Nsu, Ehime Mbano Centre.

However, Ekpa vowed to protect the Southeast region against terrorism, banditry and other elements of insecurity.

According to him, the lives of every Biafran remained sacrosanct to BRGIE.

“There is nothing like gunmen. Biafra government will not allow any Boko Haram IDP camp in Biafraland.

“Biafra government is in charge of the security in Biafraland, not Nigeria. And under my leadership, we will do everything to secure Biafra territory,” he boasted on X.

This comes after the residence of Frank Ibezim, an ex-senator who represented Okigwe North (Okigwe Zone), and the NOUN study centre at Nsu were set ablaze on Monday.

The incident was condemned by the Police Command, the Imo State Government and Senator Ibezim.
