The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has stated that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Finland, Simon Ekpa, is currently undergoing prosecution.
Musa made the disclosure on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to him, Ekpa’s arrest has contributed to improved security in the South East region.
“He is currently undergoing prosecution. So we’re hopeful,” he said, suggesting Ekpa might be repatriated.
“When we talked about him, people felt we were just making noise, but since he had been arrested, South East is getting better,” he added.
Gen Musa emphasised that the military and security agencies remain committed to pursuing those instigating violence across the country.
“The likes of him, we are going to go after them, wherever they are and whatever it takes we will bring them,” he said.
The Defence Chief also described the recent clampdown on Ansaru terrorists as a “good win” for the country, assuring that efforts are ongoing to neutralise other violent groups.
