I was threatened by Simon Ekpa for not supporting Biafra agitation– Orji Kalu

By Miracle Ogunde

The Senator representing Abia North at the Upper legislative chamber, Orji Kalu, said that he ignored threats from Ekpa for not supporting agitation for Biafra.

Kalu, urged the south-east governors to be resolute and ruthless in dealing with the activities of non-state actors.

The lawmaker also implored security agencies to adopt proactive measures to combat crime, noting that security is built on intelligence.

Kalu stated this during an interview with Arise Television on Monday.

“Simon Ekpa was calling and threatening me that I don’t support Biafra, but I left him to his conscience.

“I am very strong-willed when it comes to security, and I can do anything to safeguard the lives and property of the people I rule.

“You must be a strong leader to condemn crime, and I eradicated crime. No governor should tolerate any type of crime in his state; it is not allowed,” he said.

Recall that the police in Finland arrested the pro-Biafra agitator on November 21, and he was subsequently sent to prison by the district court of Päijät-Häme for spreading terrorist propaganda on social media.

Meanwhile, a Finnish district court has fixed May 2025 for the prosecution to file charges against the pro-Biafra agitator.
