Coup: Simon Ekpa urges Igbos in Niger Republic to reject Nigeria



The Biafra campaigner and separatist, Simon Ekpa, has called on Nigerian immigrants of Igbo origin residing in the Republic of Niger to “reject” Nigeria and declare themselves as “Biafrans” in order to avoid being killed.

9JA NEWS reported that the military regime in Niger cut ties with Nigeria following the failure of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to reinstate ousted President Mohamed Bazoum.

On Friday, the Nigerian embassy in Niamey was set on fire, just 24 hours after ECOWAS instructed its standby force to restore constitutional order in Niger.

In response, Ekpa tweeted from his Twitter account: “BRGIE @BiafraRGIE BREAKING

We are urging all Biafrans residing in Niger Republic to immediately reject Nigeria and start presenting yourselves as Biafrans in order to avoid being killed.”
