The Government of Finland has received all requirements for the extradition of Pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa to Nigeria. The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa said during the 2024 Year-In-Review.
“Legal action is going to be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say much about that but I’m happy he has been arrested. So, I’m sure the right thing will be done.
“The Federal Government has actually forwarded most of the requirements to the Finnish Government."
The Defence Chief also said the sit-at-home propagated by Ekpa and his allies in the South-East geopolitical zone of Nigeria is wearing off because of the clearance operations by the military.
In November 2024, Finland authorities arrested Ekpa, alongside four others on suspicion of terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and terrorism financing.
Finland district court in Lahti had ordered the remand of Ekpa on probable cause for public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent in Nigeria.
The separatist leader was accused of using social media platforms to spread separatist propaganda linked to IPOB, a group advocating for the secession of southeastern Nigeria.
