Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed disciple of the embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has disclosed that he was made to swear an oath of allegiance regarding the struggle for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra.
Ekpa, in a statement posted on his verified official Twitter handle on Wednesday, revealed that Nnamdi Kanu administered the oath to him “through Caroline Okoroafor’s mother (Adamma Brown).
The acclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, who was responding to threats by some individuals to drag him to court following his activities in the South-East, said Kanu had, before his arrest, urged him to continue the struggle if anything happened to him.
According to Ekpa, “I urge those who want to sue Simon Ekpa to hire Lawyers from Finland and not Sweden; I am not resident in Sweden. But before you do that, make sure the lawyer is aware of the following;
“That Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, through Caroline Okoroafor’s Mother (Adamma Brown), administered me the oath of allegiance supervised by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu himself.
“That Before I accepted to take the oath, he convinced me that should in case anything happens to him, I am his replacement.
“That before I took the oath, He mandated me to take over the struggle if anything happened to him, including using his name, a promise he fulfilled immediately after he was kidnapped from Kenya by mandating me to take over the struggle from DSS dungeon.”
Ekpa further explained that by the above and many more yet to be made public, in fulfilling his part of the agreement, he will continue to use Kanu’s name and picture anyhow he wants until he is released.
