 The Nigerian Senate has condemned the Monday seat at home in the South-East geopolitical zone and asked the federal government to collaborate with the Finnish government and extradite pro-Biafran agitator Simon Ekba for prosecution. During plenary, the rare chamber presided over by president of the Senate, Senator Gotswil Okbabio, resolved to invite the minister of foreign affairs when appointed and relevant stakeholders to carry out a thorough investigation as well as bring other sponsors of the arc to book. Senator Osita had in his motion decried the state of insecurity in the region stating that economic activities have come to a halt in the zone while kidnapping and wanting killing had become the order of the day. The Senate is aware that thousands of innocent lives have been lost since this action of seat at home in the South-East started and property is worth over a trillion have been destroyed which has resulted in investors living the region. Further aware that the seat at home civil disobedience action in the South-East has led to disruption, vandalization, disruption of economic activities as well as immeasurable financial losses for businesses, workers and the total economy of the South-East. Mr President, the Senate is worried that if the activities of Simon Epber, who is issuing the legacy that home order is not checked, he may succeed in corrupting the minds of the youth and turning them against the government. Across action of senators condemned the seat at home in the South-East geopolitical zone. I have called the market leaders in Abia and I said you can continue to stay away and they told me that the people have threatened to burn their markets at night if they don't stay away. So this is beyond the citizenry coming out to just say we don't accept it because what they have done is to use terror tactics to intimidate a whole region. These boys have caused an industrial problem in our area. Where it represents Senator Abaribi, they are mainly manufacturers and advise the manufacturing hubs. None of the industries can open. People have suffered so much. If commerce therefore is shut down, in this part of the country, I'm afraid it indeed is a national problem that I think should be treated as a national challenge. We will work with the state governments. I don't know what their security vote is doing for if they can use their security votes to equip the local vigilante. In my own local government, Mr. President, it may interest you to know that we've been able to nip them. Going to four months now, there is no single incident of kidnapping in my local government. Condemn the seat at home in totality as well as the various activities of Simon Acqua, the gang leader. Those in support of prayer won't say aye. Those again say ne'er. The ayes have it. The seat at home order is set to be enforced by a faction of the proscribed Indigenous people of Biafra in five south east states, Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Eboi. The order was declared in 2021 to press home demands for the release of Ipob Lida, Namdi Kanu, who has been detained by the Department of State Services. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.
