Simon Ekpa led Biafra government has issued a fresh ultimatum to the Nigerian Government for the return of all detained Biafrans, Judges of Igbo descent to the South-East region.
Ekpa made this known in a statement through his X handle on Thursday.
According to him the ultimatum which is expected to last till 27 October 2024 was a decision after a meeting held on Thursday.
He noted that the Nigerian judicial system had contributed to the insecurity in the region by installing anti-people governors citing the example of Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
The Biafra agitator, Ekpa further threatened lockdown on all federal courts in the South-East from 29 October 2024 his demand is not met.
Similarly, he called for the Judges of non-Biafran descent to leave the South-East region.
“The Biafra Government in an emergency Cabinet meeting today 24.10.2024 voted and approved a resolution to demand Nigeria government to return every Biafran being detained outside Biafraland within 72hours.
“The 72 hours will expire on Sunday 27.10.2024.
“Failing to adhere to this demand, the Biafra government also voted for the resolution to evict every non-Biafra judge and lockdown the following institutions:
Federal Government Court of Appeal in Owerri; FG Court of Appeal in Awka, FG Court of Appeal in Enugu judicial division; All Federal High Courts in Biafraland and National Industrial Court in Biafraland.
“The Biafra government resolved that these institutions have brought anarchy, death, insecurity, and instability instead of Justice, Equity and fairness.
“It was this court that brought Hope Uzodinma that have destroyed the lives of our women and children.
“These institutions will therefore be in lockdown indefinitely from 29.10.2024.
Every Judges that are not from Biafraland is hereby requested to go back to their region as their security will no longer be guaranteed”, he stated.
