Simon Ekpa: Enugu State Govt Hails Arrest

The Enugu State Government has hailed the Government of Finland, following the arrest of Finland based leader of a criminal group Autopilots, describing him as a common criminal and terrorist with no regard for the welfare of the Igbo people.

A statement released by the SSG Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, the government labeled Ekpa a murderer and fraudster who thrives on the suffering of his people while living extravagantly abroad.

The state pledged its readiness to provide evidence of Ekpa’s alleged atrocities against the Igbo community to ensure his prosecution and conviction, whether in Finland or Nigeria.

The reports stated that the SSG said “His arrest and trial will no doubt go a long way in strengthening peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South East.

“This arrest is in line with the demand of Governor Peter Mbah Administration, which has repeatedly made it known that Ekpa is a megalomaniac, common criminal, murderer, and fraudster, who takes joy in feeding fat on the manipulated emotions of Ndigbo and inflicting misery on the South East region.

“Ekpa has for long, and unfortunately from Finland, made a living by creating a siege climate and mentality in the South East, destroying lives, property, and the Igbo trademark of entrepreneurship and hard work. He thrives on manipulating, exploiting, and extorting the people on the pretext of fighting for their interest and for the restoration of Biafra,” the government said.

Meanwhile the DHQ has praised his arrest describing it as victory for the ongoing anti terror battle
