The group accuses the factional IPOB leader of inciting violence and killings in South-east Nigeria.
The Igbo group said the illegal declarations of sit-at-home were affecting the economy of the South-east and causing loss of lives in the region.
“While we respect and recognise the right of individuals to express their thoughts, the Igbo Community in Finland strongly denounces Mr Simon Ekpa’s seditious statements and actions, which have taken on a dangerously violent dimension of killing and devastation whenever he issues such directives. The group said they “strongly” condemned Mr Ekpa’s violent method of operation and have rejected his “illegal sit-at-home orders that restrict economic activities and daily lives of people.”It added that criminals have exploited such declarations to kill, steal and destroy properties in the region.
