Ekpa Simon, a pro-Biafra activist based in Finland, has written to the European Union and the United States of America about alleged human rights violations committed by Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah.
Three persons were killed on Wednesday after traders flocked to the streets to protest the state government’s closure of their stores for not opening for business on Monday.

Ekpa, in a subsequent letter to the international community, urged a visa suspension on Mbah for breaching residents’ fundamental human rights.
He went on to say that the Enugu State administration confiscated and arrested persons in the state without consulting the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s constitution.
“We wish to bring to your attention the gross violation and fundamental human rights abuses of the people of Enugu State, Biafra (in Southeast Nigeria) by Peter Mbah, the governor of Enugu State,” the letter stated.

“Peter Mbah is seizing and locking up people’s businesses and means of subsistence without recourse to the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s constitution or any charter, treaty, or convention known anywhere in the civilised world, denying the people of Enugu State the right to personal property and free enterprise.”
“We request that you impose a visa ban on Governor Peter Mbah and add him to the list of terrorists and haters of freedom and democracy in Nigeria.”
