The Director of Defence Media Operations, Major General Edward Buba, has stated that the federal government will respond appropriately through the European Union.
He made these comments in reaction to a social media post by Simon Ekpa, who announced December 2, 2024, as the date for the presentation of a map and the official declaration of the Biafra Republic.
When contacted, General Buba emphasized that while military operations against the Indigenous People of Biafra and the Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) will continue, the federal government will also utilize diplomatic channels to secure the extradition of Simon Ekpa from Finland.
He remarked, “The federal government will respond appropriately to the Finnish government through the EU. On the military front, troops will maintain operations against IPOB/ESN.”
Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafra Government in Exile (BRGIE), announced plans to unveil the map of the “40 United States of Biafra” and issue a declaration on December 2, 2024.
Claiming the title of Prime Minister of BRGIE, Ekpa shared this information via his official social media account.
He stated that the initiative aims to expedite the realization of Biafra’s independence, saying, “The Biafra Government is preparing to present the complete map of Biafra on December 2, 2024.”
