The proscribed Igbo separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has named a Finland-based Immigration lawyer, Simon Ekpa, as the new Director of Radio Biafra in the wake of the arrest and detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The Ebonyi State-born Ekpa who claims to be a Prince, took to his Facebook page on Saturday to post the news of his appointment, adding that the arrest of Kanu cannot create a vacuum and as such, he was coming on board to continue from where Kanu left. Describing it as an honour to serve “the Biafra nation and lovers of freedom,” Ekpa wrote: Our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on the 8th of July, 2021, directed that I, Simon Ekpa, should start broadcasting from Radio Biafra with immediate effect. “I will serve with everything in me and I will double my effort in media, diplomacy, and otherwise, to the best interest of Biafra people. “Let me categorically state that there is no vacuum in the leadership of IPOB, there is no vacuum in the position of director of Radio Biafra. “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the Director of Radio Biafra and his directive is final as we maintain the command and control. “Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will continue to lead the struggle from where ever he is, be it in the prison, DSS custody, police detention or from Aso Rock detention.
