The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government In-Exile, BRGIE, has alleged that its petition on Biafra’s declaration for self-rule to the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights, an organ of African Union, was blocked unjustly by the Commission’s Acting Secretary-General and Nigeria’s representative, Abiola Idowu-Ojo.
Ekpa, self acclaimed Prime Minister of BRGIE made the claim in a statement posted on his X account on Monday.
According to him, despite the response received on the 19th of June, the Commission had allegedly trashed its petition for Biafra Liberation amid rights abuses against Biafrans.
Ekpa stressed that the reason given for not acting on the BRGIE petition was unfair and the Commission had defaulted on its own rules.
He claimed that the development may escalate tensions in the region as impunity and injustice thrive.
“The Biafra Government wants to officially inform the Biafra people and the world that the Nigeria representative, Abiola Idowu-Ojo at the African Court, has trashed the filing of the Biafra Government.
