Same contentious edits and talk page behavior, same articles edited as other socks, especially Simon Ekpa. This account became active very soon after the last block (Feb 15 sock blocked, this account Feb 18). This brand new user has shown rather sophisticated editing abilities while repeating old shtick.

Noting that the user has re-created a draft about the Biafra Republic Government in Exile at Draft:Biafra Republic (the infobox is, among other things, very uncited). This subject has a WP-history that involves socking:[1][2][3] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:22, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Fwiw, Ekpa-socking is a thing on Commons too:[4]. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Noting also the Commons VRT-use at [5][6], which hints at some sort of COI, but since I can't read the tickets, I can't be sure. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Two things. This user is not "brand new", and see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/UniBrill/Archive#04 October 2023 where RoySmith found the user to be unrelated to UniBrill.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:52, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
