Simon Ekpa is a controversial figure primarily known for his involvement in the Biafran separatist movement. He is a self-proclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Ekpa gained prominence as a vocal advocate for Biafran independence and has often used social media to disseminate his messages. His activities include issuing sit-at-home orders in the southeastern region of Nigeria, which have frequently resulted in violence and disruption. These orders are ostensibly to pressure the Nigerian government to release Nnamdi Kanu, but have led to significant economic and social hardship for the local population.
Ekpa's rhetoric is often considered inflammatory, and he has been accused of inciting violence and promoting hate speech. He has also faced accusations of being a foreign agent, leveraging his Finnish citizenship to undermine Nigerian stability. While he claims to be fighting for the liberation of Biafrans, his methods and the impact of his actions have been widely criticized. His actions have been condemned by both the Nigerian government and some factions within the Biafran independence movement itself who believe his approach is counterproductive. His role and influence continue to be a subject of intense debate and scrutiny.
