The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, has disclosed ongoing collaboration with the European Union to Extradite Simon Ekpa from Finland.
Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), had on social media announced December 2, 2024 as the date for Biafra map presentation and official declaration of the Biafra Republic.
According to him, the move aimed to hasten the realisation of Biafra’s independence. He said, “the Biafra Government is preparing to present the complete map of Biafra on December 2, 2024,”.
Reacting to this, General Buba, when contacted, said while military operations against the Indigenous People of Biafra and Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) will be sustained, the federal government will deploy diplomatic channels to get the leader Simon Ekpa from Finland.
He said, “The FG would respond appropriately to the Finnish Government through the EU. On the part of the military, troops would sustain operations against IPOB / ESN,” General Buba stated.
