The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has reported a significant improvement in security across Nigeria's Southeast region. This positive development is attributed to the arrest of Simon Ekpa, a pro-Biafran agitator, by authorities in Finland.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s General Musa stated that Ekpa's apprehension in November 2024 has resulted in a period of relative peace in the area.
The Defence Chief expressed optimism regarding the ongoing legal proceedings against Ekpa, who is currently undergoing prosecution in Finland.
Furthermore, General Musa announced that Nigerian military troops have intensified operations aimed at capturing Ekpa's key associates within the Southeast states of Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Abia.
He emphasized the military's resolve, stating, “We are going to pursue individuals like him relentlessly, wherever they may be, and use all necessary means to neutralize these threats.”
General Musa also referenced the recent arrest of leaders from the terrorist group Ansaru as another significant victory for national security, hinting at further unpublicized operations against other security threats.
