Simon Ekpa Has Been Defrauding People Through ESN – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, is using the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to defraud people.

The group stated this while distancing itself from Ekpa, maintaining that he is not a registered member of the security outfit.

Speaking via a statement, the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful insisted that it was wrong to describe Ekpa as a factional leader of the group.

He warned media houses and social media platforms against linking the agitator with IPOB.

The group insisted that those promoting the narrative that Ekpa is affiliated with them are either ill-informed or working with the Department of State Service (DSS) to tarnish their image.
