Simon Ekpa, 96 others declared wanted by military [FULL NAMES]

The DHQ said Ekpa and others are responsible for crimes of security breaches in the country, including terrorism and insurgency.

The Nigerian Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has declared the factional leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, wanted.

The Finland-based agitator's name was among the 97 persons declared wanted by the military high command for stoking and engaging in violent crimes in the country.

The crimes range from terrorism, insurgency, and kidnapping suspects, among others.

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba, confirmed the names of the wanted persons and unveiled their pictures on Friday, March 22, 2024.

The development comes barely a week after reports emerged that the DHQ was planning to declare some people wanted for terrorist activities.

Meanwhile, the names and pictures released contained designated terrorists from the North East and North West, as well as insurgents in the South-East and North Central.

Notably, the aforementioned four regions have been the most impacted by security challenges in the country.

The North West Zone accounts for 43 persons, among which are: Alhaji Shingi; Malindi Yakubu; Boka; Dogo Gide; Halilu Sububu; Ado Aliero; Bello Turji; Dan Bokkolo; Labi Yadi; Nagala; Saidu Idris; Kachalla Rugga and Sani Gurgu.
