The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has refuted insinuations in some quarters that Simon Ekpa is a member of IPOB noting that the plot by Department of State Services, (DSS) to link Simon Ekpa to Nnamdi Kanu would fail adding that Ekpa is not a member of IPOB and had severally made it crystal clear\u00a0 to the public.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Making this clarification through its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, while reacting in response to what\u00a0 it described as the latest round of desperate and disgraceful media propaganda being pushed by the DSS and its enablers, IPOB insisted that Ekpa is not her member but has its group, Autopilot and operates from Finland.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“This time, their scheme involves the recycled and discredited narrative surrounding one Simon Ekpa\u2014a self-confessed content creator based in Finland\u2014who has on multiple occasions publicly stated that he is not a member of IPOB. Despite this fact, t<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The DSS is now attempting to artificially associate him, (Ekpa), with IPOB and our leader in a failed bid to confuse the public and shift attention away from the illegality and hopelessness of their case against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Let it be made categorically clear:<\/div>\n
Simon Ekpa is not a member of IPOB.He does not speak for IPOB, represent IPOB, or act on behalf of our movement. Any attempt to link him to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or the IPOB family is false, fraudulent, and malicious.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“This latest media stunt is simply the continuation of a well-funded psychological operation designed to salvage what remains of the DSS\u2019s collapsing narrative. Having failed to implicate IPOB in their illegal and barbaric military operations in the South East, and with their kangaroo case against our leader falling apart in court, they have now resorted to low-level media manipulation and sensationalism.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We are also aware of the disgraceful poster campaign in Abuja aimed at tarnishing the image of our leader. These actions are the hallmarks of a regime running from the truth. They are also a desperate attempt to distract from the damning evidence, some of which have been captured on video, of the human rights violations, unlawful detentions, and systemic abuse committed by DSS operatives against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“These atrocities will soon be exposed in open court. Let it be known far and wide: IPOB is a disciplined, lawful, and globally recognized self-determination movement. Our mission remains peaceful and anchored in international law. No amount of recycled lies or propaganda will change this truth.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We urge the Nigerian public and the international community to see through this calculated disinformation campaign and focus on the real issue: the unlawful detention and extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and the Nigerian state\u2019s continued defiance of domestic and international court rulings.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“The DSS should stop these childish antics and prepare to face the legal consequences of their actions. History will record their shame, and justice will prevail,” the movement stated.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
