Abaribe, in an interview with Channels TV, said that is the reason Ekpa and his cohorts are refusing to reverse the order.<\/p>\n

The lawmaker pointed out that leaders in the South-East agreed to meet with the President Bola Tinubu government over Kanu\u2019s continued detention.<\/p>\n

Abaribe said: \u201cOf course, the man who is profiting from it, who is far away in Finland, denounced it and put more conditions saying they will never stop it until we (South-East leaders) see him in Finland.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can now see that because they profit from this, they are not going to stop it because it has become a money-making venture.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen adverts on the internet asking people to contribute money for the liberation of Biafra.\u201d<\/p>\n
