Worried by the abysmal economic consequences of Sit-at-Home order on the people of the Southeast, the Senate on Wednesday tasked the Federal Government to collaborate with the Finnish Government to extradite pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, for prosecution.
In condemning the order, the upper legislative chamber 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 illegal sit-at-home order is said to be enforced by a faction of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the geopolitical zone.

The unconstitutional order was declared in 2021 to press home demands for the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is being detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) and prosecuted for terrorism-related charges.
The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, in July 2023, said the sit-at-home is making his state lose over N10 billion every Monday.
