The Nigerian government has submitted the necessary requirements to the Government of Finland for the extradition of Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa.
This was disclosed by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, on Channels Television on Tuesday, December, 31, 2024.
According to him: “Well, I’m sure he’s cooling off somewhere.
“Legal action will be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say too much, but I’m glad he’s been arrested.
“The Federal Government has provided most of the required documentation to the Finnish Government, so I’m confident the right steps will be taken.”
Recall that the Finnish authorities arrested Ekpa along with four others, on suspicion of involvement in terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism in November 2024.
While a Finish Court ordered Ekpa’s remand based on probable cause for public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent in Nigeria.
The separatist leader is accused of using social media to promote separatist propaganda and violently advocating for the secession of southeastern Nigeria.
