Simon Ekpa, a Finnish-Nigerian citizen and leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been arrested by Finnish authorities for allegedly inciting violence and promoting terrorism, particularly through his online activities.
Ekpa, who has claimed leadership of a faction of IPOB, is accused of contributing to violent incidents in Nigeria’s southeast, including the enforcement of disruptive sit-at-home orders.
The Finnish government has detained him along with several associates, and authorities are examining the potential for further legal action.
The Nigerian government has been vocal in demanding Ekpa’s extradition, accusing him of terrorism and extremism linked to his calls for Biafran secession.
Despite this, Finland has expressed concern about Ekpa’s rights as a citizen and previously declined a similar extradition request.
The Finnish legal system is currently weighing whether to extend Ekpa’s detention, and discussions on his potential extradition are ongoing.
