The Publicity Secretary of the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo Alex Ogbonnia has alleged threat to his life by anonymous callers. In a statement yesterday, Ogbonnia said anonymous callers had been accusing him of wanting to kill the self-proclaimed factional Biafra leader based in Finland, Simon Ekpa. According to him, the unknown callers threatened that they would kill him first before he killed their leader, Ekpa.
He said: “That I can or will kill Ekpa is the most ridiculous, malicious, mischievous and satanic of all the statements in this world. “It is common knowledge that I don’t have the capacity to kill. “I am neither trained as a soldier nor as a police officer or in any paramilitary organization with a duty to respond to threats to life and property. “At my age, I cannot even kill a fly, talk more of a global Leviathan in the person of Simon Ekpa.
“In my duty as spokesman for Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, I cannot shirk in my duty to stand by the core Igbo interests and Ohanaeze position on any national issue. “Undoubtedly, I expressed the view that the Igbo have become uncomfortable with the sit-at-home syndrome in the South East of Nigeria; and that the persistent sit-athome has caused the Igbo more harm than good.”
