SIT-AT-HOME: NNAMDI KANU LOSES GRIP AS SIMON EKPA DICTATES TUNE
Despite Nnamdi Kanu’s explicit cancellation of the sit-at-home order, which he personally wrote and announced, the directive is still being enforced by those loyal to Simon Ekpa’s faction. This blatant disregard for Kanu’s instructions has led to chaos and criminality in the southeast region.
According to Babajide Kolade Otitoju, a seasoned investigative journalist, many people in the region are no longer listening to Kanu’s instructions, instead opting to follow Simon Ekpa’s directives. This division has created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, with innocent citizens bearing the brunt of the violence and criminality.
“It’s a sad situation, where cultists and brainwashed individuals are using the sit-at-home order as an excuse to perpetuate criminality,” Otitoju said in an interview on TVC News’ “Issues with Jide.” “Nnamdi Kanu’s cancellation of the sit-at-home order was clear, but Simon Ekpa’s faction is refusing to listen, and it’s causing harm to innocent people.”
The situation has raised concerns about the fragility of the peace process in the region, with many calling for the government to take decisive action to restore order and bring the perpetrators to justice.
In his words;
“Many people are not even taking Nnamdi Kanu’s instruction, they’re listening to Simon Ekpa even when Nnamdi kanu announced that he had cancelled sit at home which he wrote in his own hands to cancel it, sit at home is still being enforced by cultists and some undesirable elements who are listening to Simon Ekpa who have been brainwashed and see the sit at home as an opportunity to perpetuate criminality”
