Enugu State Applauds Simon Ekpa’s Arrest in Finland

The Enugu State Government has expressed approval of the arrest of Simon Ekpa by Finnish authorities, describing him as a “terrorist and criminal” whose actions have destabilized the South-East region.
In a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, the administration announced its willingness to provide evidence against the Finland-based separatist. Ekpa is facing terrorism charges in Finland, a move the state government believes will foster peace and stability in the South-East.
“The Enugu State Government welcomes the arrest of the Finland-based terrorist, Simon Ekpa,” the statement read. “His arrest and trial will no doubt strengthen peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South-East.”
The government accused Ekpa of inciting violence, creating a climate of fear, and undermining the entrepreneurial spirit of the Igbo people while exploiting them under the guise of advocating for Biafra’s restoration.
For years, Ekpa allegedly used his base in Finland to incite unrest and destruction in the South-East, disrupting lives and property. The state government pledged full cooperation with Finnish authorities to ensure he faces justice for his alleged actions.
Ekpa’s arrest has sparked hope for a renewed focus on stability and prosperity in the region.

Opposition no longer safe with recruitment of Osun PDP members into Amotekun – APM

The Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Osun State has raised concerns over the alleged recruitment of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) into the state’s Amotekun Corps, claiming it threatens the safety of opposition members.
In a statement issued on Friday, APM Chairman, Mr. Adewale Adebayo, criticized the recruitment process, alleging that non-PDP applicants were deliberately screened out. He warned that Amotekun, originally created to enhance security, was being turned into a political tool.
“We are disturbed by the protest by well-meaning Osun residents who applied but were deliberately excluded because they are not PDP members,” Adebayo stated.
He further alleged that over 1,000 PDP members had been recruited into the corps, describing it as an attempt to silence opposition voices. According to him, the recruitment exercise was merely a formality to cover up a pre-arranged selection process favoring ruling party members.
APM has called for the resignation of the Corps Commandant and Field Commandant of Amotekun, demanding an apology to the affected applicants and the people of the state. The party insisted that the security outfit must remain apolitical to maintain public trust.
Neither the Osun State Government nor the leadership of Amotekun has responded to the allegations as of the time of this report.
