Bashir Ahmad Urges Simon Ekpa’s Extradition for Sit-at-Home Orders
Former presidential aide Bashir Ahmad recently expressed that after serving any jail term in Finland, Simon Ekpa, a key figure enforcing sit-at-home orders in Nigeria’s Southeast, should be extradited to Nigeria to face justice.
Ekpa, a Nigerian-Finnish citizen, has been associated with violent enforcement of these orders, leading to significant disruptions and casualties in the region.
The Nigerian government has been actively pursuing Ekpa’s extradition, citing his role in promoting activities that undermine peace and stability in the Southeast.
Finland’s government has assured Nigeria of cooperation on the matter, emphasizing that the case is being handled in accordance with Finnish judicial processes.
This collaboration marks a significant step in addressing Ekpa’s alleged actions, which have strained diplomatic relations between the two countries.
