Abaribe, who represents Abia South, stated that the arrest would deter purveyors of violence in the southeast region from continuing the mayhem being unleashed in the region.According to him, Ekpa and his supporters are hiding behind the Biafra agitation to perpetrate crimes in the region.In an interview with Channels TV, Abaribe said: “The arrest of Simon Ekpa is something that is very…very welcome because this will tell all those people at home, who are purveyors of violence and instigated by Simon Ekpa that he actually said that he is just a content creator and not a serious person.“We have always said that his activities in South East are totally wrong and not what Ndigbo stand for.“The quest by the IPOB seeking non-violence referendum was turned by all these criminals. They are using IPOB to cause mayhem in the South-East.”Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)MoreClick to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)RelatedYour support helps us grow and deliver better content!
