Assassination Attempt Alleged Against Biafra Leader Simon Ekpa
Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Government In-Exile, has made a shocking claim that there has been an assassination attempt against him. According to Ekpa, a suicide bomber was allegedly deployed from Abuja, Nigeria, and is headed for Finland.
This is not the first time Ekpa has faced threats to his life. He has claimed that this is the fifth attempt to take his life amid his struggle for Biafra liberation. Ekpa stated that he is monitoring the situation and assured that Biafra Independence will triumph over any attempt.
In a statement made through his official X handle on Tuesday, Ekpa revealed that the suicide bomber had departed from Abuja airport and was heading for Finland. He also warned that his team is waiting for the bomber at the port of entry and has informed their Finland contact of the situation.
Ekpa’s statement reads: "Sending suicide bombers to Finland to attack Simon Ekpa is their last option and they just departed from Abuja airport. This is just to inform them that we are monitoring them even from the time they dropped them at the Abuja airport, to their next destination. We are waiting for you suicide bomber at the port of entry. Their Finland contact knows already he is in the pot of soup."
Ekpa concluded his statement by reiterating his commitment to Biafra Independence, saying: "I remain committed to Biafra Independence, this is your 5th attempt, you are now sending terrorists to Europe. If you know this man called Simon Ekpa, you will stop sleeping. Let me leave it here. It is not yet time for that."
The allegations have sparked concerns about the safety of Ekpa and the Biafra movement. The situation remains under close monitoring, with Ekpa’s team working to ensure that the attempted assassination does not succeed.
