The Ohanaeze Ndigbo socio-cultural organization has accused agitator Simon Ekpa, who lives in Finland, of declaring a second Biafra war in the Southeast.
Ohanaeze made the claims while advertising a $500, 000 reward for Ekpa’s capture.
In a statement issued by Ohanaeze’s Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the organisation requested President Bola Tinubu to deploy troops to every area of the Southeast.

Speaking with Newsmen, Isiguzoro said: “We are telling Tinubu that the second Biafra war has begun and he should deploy soldiers to all the nooks and crannies of the Southeast.
“The Southeast governors need help and Ohanaeze is asking the Southeast governors to defend themselves from external enemies.
“At this point in time, we can’t allow somebody in far-away Finland to dictate the pace.
“The government of Ebonyi State and the Southeast must ensure that the terrorist activities of Ekpa are solved in his homeland.
“What we are saying is that Ekpa has declared a second civil war in the Southeast and anybody with useful information will be given $500, 000.
