Sit-at-home: Senate seeks extradition of Simon Ekpa
The Federal Government has been called up by the Senate to collaborate with Finish Government on ways to extradite Simon Ekpa, a self-styled separatist leader for his alleged roles in the ”sit–at–home- orders and killings in the Southeast.
It also resolved to direct the Minister of Foreign Affairs (when appointed) and relevant stakeholders to investigate “nefarious activities of Simon Ekpa who is the gang leader,” with a view to bringing him and his team to book.
But the Senate turned down a call for the Federal Government to use a “political solution approach” in freeing the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from detention.
It also rejected a prayer seeking to ask the government to free Kanu based court orders.
The decisions by the Senate followed the consideration and adoption of a motion by an All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator, Osita Izunaso.
