Sit-at-home: Simon Ekpa under fresh threats as police kill four enforcers
Finland based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa has threatened to announce another week-long lockdown with palliatives across the Southeast.
Ekpa who describes himself as Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government -in-Exile on his Twitter handle said he would announce the date for the fresh lockdown soon.
His words: “Our sit at home recorded 100% compliance. Because of this propaganda and lies we will lockdown Biafra for another week and provide palliative to Biafrans. I will announce another week-long lockdown with palliative across Biafra land. Start date will be announced. It will be simultaneous with stopping oil exploitation from Biafra soil.”
Meanwhile, Enugu State governor, Peter Mbah, yesterday described the sit-at-home enforcers as individuals “out to destroy Enugu State and Igboland” adding that his administration had “won the actual war against sit-at-home enforcers” in the state.
Speaking with journalists on Saturday, Mbah said the perpetrators “have now resorted to scaremongering, peddling of fake news, and all manner of dramas to instill fear in our people and control their minds and actions”.
He urged residents of the state not to “allow those who do not have the mandate of the people dictate for us how to live our lives”.
“The truth is that we have won the actual war against sit-at-home enforcers and murderers out to destroy Enugu state and Igboland,” Mbah said.
“We have unleashed the security resources on them, and they have been thoroughly defeated and discomfited.
“We practice democracy. We can never allow murderers and terrorists to dictate to us. We must not allow those who do not have the mandate of the people to dictate to us how to live our lives; when to go out, when to close our businesses and when to sit at home.
“What we are facing now are media terrorists using social media to instigate fear and peddle fake news. We must not allow them to succeed. It is totally unacceptable. Nobody can make you inferior without your consent. These hoodlums are very few compared to our numbers. We cannot be taking instructions from hooligans.
“We must not allow those without our mandate to tell us how to live our lives. We have a duty to ensure that we flush them out in all directions. They have no stake in the affairs of our state.
“It is, therefore, our responsibility to re-orientate our people to start coming out and going about their normal businesses. We have a duty to kill fake news and counter it with our superior pen and media.
“Therefore, as we are leaving here, we must begin to tell our people the right thing; that nobody can make them inferior without their consent; that we can’t be cowed by the cowardly acts of a few people.”
The governor added that sit-at-home enforcers are “separate” from the call for the freedom of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
“As media people, it is important you educate our people for them to know that these sit-at-home enforcers are not after Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s welfare or freedom. We must be able to separate the two,” the governor said.
“Ndigbo are on one page in demanding the release of Nnamdi Kanu. I have also seen the president over this matter. Other Igbo leaders have made the same demand, and we are not relenting.”
Police kill four in Enugu
Operatives of the Enugu State Police Command have netralised a four-man gang of gunmen, who attempted to enforce an illegal weeklong sit-at-home in Enugu in the early hours of Friday.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Command, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, disclosed this in Enugu, late Friday night, recalling that police had earlier on the same day reported that operatives of the Awkunanaw Division of the Command intercepted and engaged the criminals in a gun duel at One-Day, Awkunanaw, Enugu, as they were snatching an Enugu State Transport Company, ENTRACO-branded Sharon mini van at gunpoint for their deadly operation.
“Although they managed to escape with serious gunshot injuries, a thorough search conducted on the vehicle led to the recovery of one AK-47 rifle with a magazine loaded with 19 live ammunition of 7.62 calibres, two bottles of petrol bomb and other incriminating exhibits.”
But, giving an update on the operation, the command spokesman said: “Further to the earlier report on Police operatives serving in Awkunanaw Division of the Command, dislodging armed subversive criminal elements, who attempted to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order, in the early hours of today, 07/07/2023, a combined team of tactical Police Operatives of the Command have further discovered and recovered the lifeless bodies of four (4) of the male hoodlums, in a forest behind G. Ede Filling Station/7-Up, at Awkunanaw, Enugu, where they escaped into.

“The Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Ammani, has once again reassured that the Police and other Security Forces in the State shall not relent in their efforts to maintain maximum security and safety of the law-abiding citizens, as they go about their lawful businesses. He, however, solicits their continued support.”
Gunmen kill two, raze market in Imo
A popular market in Imo State, Orie Amaraku in Mbano Local Government Area of the state was set ablaze by gunmen enforcing sit-at-home yesterday.
The gunmen who stormed the market late Friday night shot sporadically to scarce away people before setting the market ablaze.
According to eyewitnesses, the hoodlums also burnt several vehicles and tricycles alongside some vehicles parked in the area
A woman who sustained a wound on her left leg said “the boys came with guns and were shooting into the air warning everybody not to come to the market on Saturday which is the market day.”
Another passerby said “several tricycles were set on fire, making many of the operators to be weeping. The hoodlums equally destroyed tables and all structures in the market. Even the soldiers stationed near the market all disappeared.
“The gunmen said nobody should come on the market day on Saturday, they said this is warning to everybody to stay at home.”
Also, today(Saturday) at about 12noon a keke rider was shot dead at Akwakuma junction in Owerri by gunmen.
According to reports, the gunmen attacked the area around 12 noon on Saturday while enforcing sit at home.
An eyewitness said that the gunmen stormed the area in a Sienna bus and started shooting sporadically in the air, causing people to scamper for safety.
He said the keke man was hit by a stray bullet. “They shot the keke rider and another man. I was in my shop when gunshots were heard everywhere, two people were shot dead.”
A resident of the community said “I don’t know why the criminals could not be checked while the military checkpoints are near there. They only extort money from innocent drivers. If this could happen in Owerri, what about the rural areas?
He called on the government and security agencies to wake up to their responsibilities, saying “we cannot afford to allow these hoodlums to operate unchallenged.
As at the time of filing this report, the state police Public Relations Officer, ASP Henry Okoye, was yet to react to the incidents.

Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at shadowglowcorner kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.
Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at silverpetalstore did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to silverpetalcollective confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.
Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at velvetorchidmarket did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at boldcartstation reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
Worth pointing out that the writing reads as confident without being defensive about it, and a look at cloudspiregoods extended that secure tone, content that does not pre emptively argue against imagined critics has a different quality from defensive writing and this site reads as written from a place of real ease.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at radiantgrovegods kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at savvyshopstation confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at twilightoakstore maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at elitebuyarena extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.
Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at modernbuycorner confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at frostgrovecrafts continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at clevercartarena extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.
Now leaving a small mental note to recommend this when the topic comes up in conversation, and a look at crystalpetalcollective extended that recommend ready feeling, content that arms me with shareable references for likely future conversations is content with social value and this site is providing that conversational ammunition consistently for me lately.
Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at valuebuyfactory added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at hypergoodsstation did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
Worth recognising that this site does not chase the daily news cycle, and a stop at futuretrendzone confirmed the longer publication arc, sites that resist the pressure to comment on every passing event are sites with genuine editorial discipline and this one has clearly chosen depth over volume which I respect deeply.
Quietly enthusiastic about this site after the past few hours of reading, and a stop at echocrestcollective extended that enthusiasm, the calibration of enthusiasm to evidence is something I try to maintain and this site has earned a calibrated quiet enthusiasm rather than the loud excitement that usually fades within a day or two of finding something.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at trendybuyarena extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Even across multiple posts the writers voice has remained consistent in a way I appreciate, and a stop at frostpinecollective continued that voice, sites that maintain editorial consistency across many pieces have something most sites lack and this one has clearly worked out how to keep its voice steady across what reads as a growing archive.
A nicely understated post that does not shout for attention, and a look at cloudspiregoods maintained the same quiet quality, understatement is a stylistic choice that distinguishes serious writing from attention seeking writing and this site has clearly committed to the understated approach as a core editorial value rather than just a phase.
Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at radiantgrovegods extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.
Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at savvyshopstation extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.
Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at boldcartstation showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.
Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at twilightoakstore kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.
A piece that brought a sense of order to a topic I had been finding chaotic, and a look at shadowglowcorner continued that organising effect, content that imposes useful structure on messy subjects is doing genuine intellectual work and this site is providing that organisational function across multiple posts I have read recently here.
Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at echohollowmarket took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to silverfieldcollective confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.
Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at ironpetalworks kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at amberoakcollective held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at elitebuyarena extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to modernbuycorner maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.
Closed several other tabs to focus on this one as I read, and a stop at frostgrovecrafts held my undivided attention the same way, content that earns full focus in an attention environment full of competing pulls is content doing something genuinely well and the team behind it deserves recognition for that achievement consistently.
The whole experience of reading this was pleasant from start to finish, no pop ups and no annoying interruptions, and a look at aurorastreetgoods continued that clean experience, technical choices about page design matter for the reader and this site clearly cares about the small details that add up to comfort across multiple visits.
Reading this prompted a brief but useful conversation with a colleague who happened to walk by, and a stop at clevercartarena extended that conversational seed, content that becomes a starting point for in person discussion rather than ending in solitary reading is content with social generative energy and this site has plenty of it apparently.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at crystalpetalcollective maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at digitalbuyarena maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.
I learned more from this short post than from longer articles I read earlier today, and a stop at echocrestcollective added even more useful detail without going off topic, this site clearly knows how to keep things focused without sacrificing depth which is a hard balance to strike for any writer.
Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at fashioncartworld kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.
Started reading without much expectation and ended on a high note, and a look at urbanpetalstore continued that arc, content that builds rather than peaks early is a sign of a writer who knows how to structure a piece for sustained reader engagement rather than relying on a strong hook to do all the work.
Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at trendybuyarena extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.
Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at futuretrendzone reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at hypergoodsstation continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at frostpinecollective kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at urbanpickcorner maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to mysticridgegoods kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at echopetalbazaar maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
