Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, disclosed in a statement.

According to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, it initiated a search for Ekpa, as he was believed to be responsible for the sit-at-home order that has severely impacted economic activities in the region.

The statement read:

The scars of the Biafra-Nigeria civil war, which resulted in the loss of approximately two million lives, predominantly innocent children and women, are still fresh in the memory of the Igbo people. It is crucial that history does not repeat itself.

“The ongoing search for Ekpa is a preventive measure aimed at averting the upcoming sit-at-Home disruptions.

“The people of Southeast Nigeria hold the power to protect their communities and safeguard their future. It is time to stand united and defeat the insecurity challenges that threaten the region.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo calls on every Igbo person to play an active role in preventing further violence and disruptions.

“We urge individuals to provide any information that could lead to the capture of Simon Ekpa and bring an end to his dangerous activities.

“Together, we can ensure the peace, security, and progress of Southeast Nigeria.”
