The National Publicity Secretary of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Alex Ogbonnia has alleged that as an elder from the South East, he has no powers to apprehend Simon Ekpa who is in Finland.
He questioned the expectations placed on South East elders regarding national security issues. He emphasized that while he is an elder, he is not a chief security officer and cannot single-handedly address threats to the government. He asserted that if he were the President of Nigeria, he would promptly neutralize elements like Simon Ekpa who stands as a threat to the country.
He said in an interview with Punch, ”What do you want the Elders to do? I’m an elder but am I the Chief security officer? What do you want me as an elder to do? If the government feels that someone is threatening them, they should do something. Does the government want me to go to Finland as an elder to go and bring Simon Ekpa? That is the most impotent reasoning because what do you think that I, as an elder should do? It’s just unfortunate that things are not working. If I were the President of Nigeria, for example, and he (Ekpa) is threatening my country. Within 24 hours, he is gone.”..………See More
