THE Senate has condemned the sit-at-home in the South East geopolitical zone.
Consequently, the lawmakers on Monday asked the Federal Government to collaborate with the Finnish Government and extradite a pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, for prosecution.
The Senate also resolved to invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs (when appointed) and relevant stakeholders to carry out thorough investigation as well as bring other sponsors of the act to book.
The Senate also rejected a recommendation for IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu’s release, saying it would amount to subjudice as the matter of his release was still in court.
The illegal sit-at-home order is said to be enforced by a faction of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in five South-East states — Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi.
