ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has accused Simon Ekpa, a self acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu of trying to take over its $700,000, in one of the group’s accounts in Germany.
A source told Leadership that since the arrest and detention of Mazi Kanu, Ekpa has assumed control of the IPOB funds stashed all over the world.
Meanwhile, the leadership of IPOB has been torn apart due to conflict for the control of funds.
The source said: “One of the accounts of the group in Germany with about $700,000 is currently causing problem, as Ekpa is trying to take control of the accounts against the supporters of Kanu, who still believe he is the leader of IPOB.”
Epka, the factional leader of the IPOB, who had been at the forefront of the current attacks in the South East just ended the five-day sit-at-home order in the South-East.
He ended the five-day sit-at-home order in a video uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday night, calling it “historic and successful” for Biafraland.
In the video, Ekpa further declared that the South-East area will not host the 2023 elections, saying it is a “sacrifice” that the people of Biafra must make.
