Even while serving in the public sector, Barrister Ogunmola Vincent continued to pursue professional development and broaden his contribution to society.

He thereafter proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, Abuja Campus, and obtained his Barrister-at-Law (B.L.) qualification in 2003.

His journey from History to Law reflected a life of continuous learning and reinvention.

From his early years in Oba-Akoko, through university classrooms in Ile-Ife, Lagos, and Jos, to his years of public service with the Federal Road Safety Commission and his legal training in Jos and Abuja, his journey was one of perseverance, learning and purposeful service.

He was a man who demonstrated that a person’s journey need not be confined to a single profession or chapter. His life reflected the value of continuing education, adapting to new responsibilities and making oneself available for service.

After 71 years of life, Ogunmola Olujimi Oluwasemola Vincent Esq. passed away in a Lagos hospital on 19th September 2026.

Biography of Simon Ekpa

Simon Ekpa is a Finland-based Biafra agitator, who has been accused of causing violence, insecurity, and economic disruptions in the region. He hails from Ebonyi State in Southeast Nigeria, and has been implicated in orchestrating a series of disruptive activities, including the enforcement of a Sit-at-Home order that paralyzed the region for one week, from 3rd to 9th July 2023. This order resulted in significant loss of lives and severely crippled economic and social activities in the Southeast." 

As a response to Ekpa's actions, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has offered a substantial bounty of $500,000 for anyone who can provide useful information leading to his capture and subsequent arrest. "Recent developments indicate that Ekpa was tracked down in Espoo city of Finland on 21st July 2023 but managed to evade capture with unbearable and severe injuries. He is presently believed to be receiving medical treatment at an undisclosed hospital in Havana, Cuba. It has come to our attention that Ekpa is undergoing urgent plastic surgery in the last 48 hours, which further emphasizes the need for his swift apprehension. Nevertheless, Ekpa's allies have been releasing old recorded videos in order to continue to hoodwink his followers, conceal his recent ordeals and near capture, but Igbo mercenaries in the diaspora are closing in on him." Ohanaeze Ndigbo implores the people of Southeast Nigeria to rise up and put an end to Ekpa's nefarious activities, which include declaring another two weeks of Sit-at-Home from 31st July to 14th August 2023, undermining the authority of Southeast Governors who are constitutionally mandated to protect the lives and properties of citizens of the Southeast. The consequences of another prolonged Sit-at-Home order orchestrated by a non-state actor like Simon Ekpa are grave. It not only disrupts economic and social activities but also threatens the stability and peace of the Southeast region. Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges the people of Southeast Nigeria to unite and confront these security challenges head-on. The actions of Ekpa and his gunmen undermine the efforts of the regional authorities to maintain law and order. Furthermore, Ekpa's self-proclaimed role as the Prime Minister of the Biafra Government in Exile and his declaration of a Biafra referendum is deeply concerning. Such actions have the potential to ignite civil unrest and chaos in Southeast Nigeria. The scars of the Biafra-Nigeria civil war, which resulted in the loss of approximately two million lives, predominantly innocent children and women, are still fresh in the memory of the Igbo people. It is crucial that history does not repeat itself. Ohanaeze Ndigbo, together with Southeast political leaders, remains resolute in capturing Simon Ekpa and bringing him to justice.
