Orji Kalu, senator representing Abia north, says Simon Ekpa, self-proclaimed leader of the proscribed IPOB, threatened him to support Biafra.
He was subsequently sent to prison by the district court of Päijät-Häme for “spreading terrorist propaganda on social media”.The senator asked security agencies to adopt proactive measures to combat crime, noting that security is built on intelligence.
“I am very strong-willed when it comes to security, and I can do anything to safeguard the lives and property of the people I rule,” he said.“You must be a strong leader to condemn crime, and I eradicated crime. No governor should tolerate any type of crime in his state; it is not allowed. “Igbos must have safety on their hands. The federal government and state governors should work towards that, and the army should dismantle all the roadblocks in Igboland.
“Where people will come with transport and stop on the road is no longer viable; that is no longer security. Security is about intelligence. “Simon Ekpa was calling and threatening me that I don’t support Biafra, but I left him to his conscience.“My conscience is that I am a democrat, an Igbo man at heart, and I believe in this country, and I believe in my tribe, where I come from, in Igbere.”Government must enforce laws protecting women, girls, says Feminism Lab
