Popular Biafra Agitator, Simon Ekpa Warns Buhari Over Continued Detention of Nnamdi Kanu by DSS

Popular Biafra Agitator and Separatist Simon Ekpa has warned President Muhammadu Buhari, Minister for Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami and the Department of State Security that the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu must not die under detention.

The Finland-based lawyer and Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, BRGIE, called on Buhari, DSS, Malami to free Nnamdi Kanu over his deteriorating health.

Ekpa said the medical team of the Department of State Security, DSS confirmed that Nnamdi Kanu needs urgent medical attention, while lamenting that Kanu had been complaining of ear pain for over two years without proper medical attention.

Ekpa urged the Nigerian Government to either release Kanu immediately or allow his medical team to attend to him while in detention, while kicking against the DSS medical team performing surgery on Nnamdi Kanu.

Ekpa said:

“The information has revealed that the DSS Medical Unit has recommended urgent ear surgery for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra). With this letter, we are telling the DSS Medical Unit not to attempt any such manoeuvre.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been complaining of his deteriorating health for Over two years, and DSS refused to see his medical team. He has been without his reading eyeglasses since he was kidnapped and extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria against his will; still, the DSS refused the courtesy of replacing his eyeglasses and having an optical reexamination. The competent court of any wrongdoing has discharged Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yet DSS keeps him captive.

“By recommending this urgent surgery for him after refusing access to his medical team, DSS has directly accepted that they have debased Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s health and are planning now to use an excuse of surgery to poison and kill him off.

“If DSS is sincere, they should allow Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the freedom to walk away from their dungeon and go and meet his medical team. His Life is not guaranteed under the DSS surgeons or the Nigeria healthcare system.

“In March 2022, Biafrans mourned DIG Joseph Egbunike, who died after medical surgery to remove a FISH BONE stuck in his throat. Hence, we are saying no to the DSS-recommended urgent surgery for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, which we view as a “Trojan Horse” and insincere. Suppose the DSS medical unit insists that the surgery must be done in their captivity and must be done urgently. In that case, they should allow Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s medical team to come in and perform the surgery.

“All Biafrans must stand up now and say no to any wicked and inglorious DSS attempt to perform any surgery on our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. If anything happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from DSS surgery, be assured that Nigeria will be on flame, and many suspected of being part of this kidnapping will pay heavily”, his statement contained.

Recall that Kanu was re-arrested in 2019 by the Nigerian Government. Despite several court orders, Buhari’s Government refused to grant him bail.

In another development, Ekpa was awarded the honour of Ambassador of Peace at the African Day celebration in Helsinki, Finland, by the Universal Peace Federation, UPF.

ABDULLAHI MAIWADA Assistant Comptroller of Customs National Public Relations Officer for Comptroller-General of Customs, a Computer-Based Test (CBT) scheduled to take place in July, 2025 as part of the ongoing NCS recruitment exercise, currently circulating on social media and other messaging platforms, is fake .

In a statement on Sunday, MAIWADA categorically stated that the said press release is fraudulent, misleading, and did not emanate from the Nigeria Customs Service.

The statement reads:

At no time did the Service issue any such announcement regarding a CBT slated to take place in July 2025.

Upon close scrutiny, it is clear that the fake statement contains several discrepancies, particularly in its formatting.

The e-signature format differs from our official standard and the recruitment timeline mentioned shows a faulty structure that is not connected to any legitimate process.

The Nigeria Customs Service understands the interest of many Nigerians in its ongoing recruitment process and urges the public not to engage with, share, or act upon such unverified content.

Authentic information about NCS activities, including its ongoing recruitment exercises, will be published only on our official website, verified social media platforms, and recognised national newspapers.

The Service is taking steps to trace the origin of this false information and will take appropriate action to hold those responsible accountable.

When the Service is set to begin the next phase of the recruitment process, the public will be duly notified through appropriate channels.

The NCS deeply appreciates the vigilance of concerned Nigerians. We reaffirm our commitment to protecting the public from misinformation, ensuring all our processes uphold the highest standards of transparency and integrity.”

The Oyo State Police Command has issued a security alert ahead of the July 7 Founders’ Day celebration of the Neo-Black Movement of Africa (Aiye Confraternity), popularly known as the Black Axe cult group.

In a statement on Sunday, the command’s spokesman, SP Adewale Osifeso, warned that intelligence reports indicate the possibility of violent reprisals and large-scale mayhem by rival cult groups during the event.

The police said intelligence-led operations and community engagements have revealed that the Neo-Black Movement may use the occasion to carry out attacks, potentially triggering serious public disorder across parts of the state.

The Command urged residents to remain vigilant, report suspicious activities, and cooperate with security agencies to maintain peace and order.

“As part of our proactive security measures, the Police Command has conducted multiple sensitisation sessions with key stakeholders, including hoteliers, lounge owners, and operators of studio apartments, to emphasise the importance of refusing to make their facilities available for hosting gatherings associated with cult groups known for violent activities.

“The safety of all residents remains our highest priority.

We therefore call on parents, guardians, community leaders, and influential figures to collaborate with law enforcement in mitigating these risks.
