The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, on Thursday vowed that Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) must be arrested and prosecuted.
Musa spoke during a programme on Channels Television.
The CDS, who decried the activities of IPOB in the South-East, insisted that Ekpa must be arrested and prosecuted.
He called on the Nigerian government to take decisive action to curb the menace of the factional leader of the IPOB.
He said, “We have repeatedly complained about the issue of Simon Ekpa. He is in Finland and the Finnish Government is giving him all the support and he is doing what he is doing.
“The comments he is making, people are being killed and nothing is being done. This is democracy. If the European Union is supporting democracy and this is happening and they are not taking action, then they don’t mean well for Nigeria.
“We have said that in clear terms. We need to diplomatically find means of getting him out of whatever it is that he is doing. He must be arrested, he must be prosecuted.
