Simon Ekpa Compounds Enugu Governor’s Headache

OpenLife Nigeria reports that Finland-based Pro-Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, is adding severe headache to the already traumatized governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah.
Peter Mbah who was sworn in as the 4th governor of Enugu State since the rebirth of democratic practices in 1999 has been enmeshed in a National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, certificate forgery scandal, which has left him less focus on administration.

While that is on going, Ekpa has written to the European Union and the United States of America over alleged human rights abuses carried out by Governor Mbah.
Three people were killed on Wednesday when traders took to the streets to protest the sealing of their shops by the state government for not opening for business on Monday.
Ekpa, in a letter written to the international community afterwards however demanded a visa ban on Mbah for violating the citizens’ fundamental human rights.
He added that the Enugu State government confiscated and arrested people in the state without recourse to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The letter read, “We wish to bring to your notice the gross violation and fundamental human rights abuses of the people of Enugu State, Biafra (in Southeast Nigeria) by Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu State.
“Peter Mbah is confiscating and locking up people’s businesses and means of sustenance without recourse to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or any chatter, treaty or convention known anywhere in the civilized world, thereby denying the people of Enugu State the right to personal property and free enterprise.
“We request that you impose a visa ban on Governor Peter Mbah and add him to the list of terrorists and haters of freedom and democracy in Nigeria.”
