I SACRIFICED MY POLITICAL CAREER IN FINLAND FOR BIAFRA’S INDEPENDENCE – SIMON EKPA

Simon Ekpa, the activist advocating for Biafra, has stated that he made sacrifices in his political career in Finland in order to focus on the agitation for Biafra’s independence.

Ekpa, who is referred to as the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile (BRGIE), announced this in a statement made through his official X account on Thursday.

He stated that over the past few years, he has concentrated his efforts on achieving self-rule for Biafra which underscores his dedication to the cause and highlights the ongoing struggle for the region’s independence.

Ekpa’s focus reflects the aspirations of many who seek greater autonomy and recognition for Biafra.

He stressed there is nothing hallow to him other than the cause of liberating Biafra from alleged marginalization by the Nigerian government.

“I have decided not to take part in the coming election and focus on Biafra Liberation in Finland.

“I have served my people, community and region since 2012,” he stated.

Recall that Ekpa had announced that on December 2, 2024 Biafra will be declared.

This comes amid his continued criticism of the Nigerian government despite the plan to extradite him.

In July 2021, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was rearrested by the Nigerian government and has remained in custody despite calls for his release.

    CAMBRIDGE HONOURS NIGERIAN PHD STUDENT FOR BIAFRA HERITAGE PROJECT

    CAMBRIDGE HONOURS NIGERIAN PhD STUDENT FOR BIAFRA HERITAGE PROJECT A PhD student at the University of Cambridge’s Department of Archaeology, Stanley Onyemechalu, has been recognised for his Legacies of Biafra Heritage Project. According to an article published by the department on Monday, Onyemechalu was recently named runner-up in the Early Career Researcher category at the Cambridge Awards for Research Impact and Engagement. Onyemechalu’s project reportedly engaged both young and old in Enugu, south-eastern Nigeria, through creative artistic expressions. “Through workshops and an exhibition, the project aimed to promote intergenerational dialogue and historical awareness on the legacies of the Nigeria-Biafra war, a sensitive part of people’s collective history that has been suppressed by successive Nigerian governments,” the article read. “I am honoured to have received this important recognition from the University of Cambridge for my work with communities in south-eastern Nigeria,” Onyemechalu was quoted as saying. He added, “I am grateful to my collaborators at the Centre for Memories in Enugu, Nigeria, including the project volunteers and participants; my supervisor, Dr Dacia Viejo-Rose, and colleagues at the Cambridge Heritage Research Centre; as well as the Public Engagement team at the University of Cambridge. “I would also like to thank the Royal Anthropological Institute, the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and the University’s Public Engagement Starter Fund for supporting the project.” Onyemechalu’s award was part of a wider celebration of research excellence at Cambridge. Professor Gilly Carr, a researcher at the Institute of Continuing Education and the Department of Archaeology, was also recognised as runner-up in the Established Academic category for her work on The Safeguarding Sites Project, while Dr Nik Petek-Sargeant, a scholar at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, was similarly honoured as a runner-up in the Early Career Researcher category for his Historical East African Archaeology and Theory Project. The Cambridge Awards for Research Impact and Engagement are reportedly presented annually to celebrate innovative research approaches that have significant social, cultural, and academic impact. “The awards, presented by Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Prentice and Professor Sir John Aston FRS, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research, recognise innovative practices and partnership working across the engagement, knowledge exchange, and impact space,” the article noted.

    NNAMDI KANU ASKS JUDGE TO WITHDRAW FROM HIS TRIAL

    . AGAIN, NNAMDI KANU ASKS JUDGE TO WITHDRAW FROM HIS TRIAL Drama ensued at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday morning as Aloy Ejimakor, the lawyer to Nnamdi Kanu, told judge Binta Nyako to recuse herself from the trial. Mr Ejimakor said the request for her to quit the case again came from his client, who is the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group agitating for the secession of South-east states and parts of some neighbouring states as a sovereign Biafra nation. Nnamdi Kanu, who has been in the custody of the State Security Service (SSS) since 2021, is standing trial before Mrs Nyako on charges of terrorism and treasonable felony arising from his separatist activists as a pro-Biafra agitator. He arrived at the court premises in company with SSS operatives at about 8:30 a.m. on Monday. Mr Kanu’s trial was earlier stalled after Mrs Nyako recused herself from the case following the IPOB leader’s oral application on 24 September 2024. The IPOB leader broke into a conversation between the bar and the bench during the court session to tell the judge to withdraw from the case. He said he no longer had confidence in her handling of his trial. However, John Tsoho, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, returned the file to Mrs Nyako on the grounds that Nnamdi Kanu’s application must be brought formally before the court through a motion on notice. Consequently, in a letter dated 5 December 2024, addressed to the Deputy Chief Registrar; the prosecution led by Adegboyega Awomolo asked the court to fix a date for the commencement of the trial. Opposing the request for a trial date, the defence counsel, Mr Ejimakor, in a letter dated 9 December 2024, said the ruling of the judge recusing herself remained valid. Mr Ejimakor further asked that the case be transferred to a division of the Federal High Court in the Igbo-dominated South-east region of the country if no judge in Abuja is willing to preside over it. Nnamdi Kanu at Monday hearingAt the resumed hearing on Monday, the prosecuting counsel led by Mr Awomolo, told the judge was ready for the commencement of trial as his witnesses were ready. However, Mr Ejimakor said his client, Nnamdi Kanu, has made a choice to not stand trial before Mrs Nyako. “The defendant is still asking that your lordship recuse herself from this matter,” Ejimakor told the court. In response, the judge said “the Chief Judge had not accepted the recusal and had referred the case back” to her for trial. She asked the defence team led by Mr Ejimakor to send a written application if they still insist on the recusal.
