Ekpa: Military seeks extradition as Finland jails self-styled IPOB PM
The Nigerian military has called for the extradition of Simon Ekpa, leader of a faction of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who was arrested by Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation (NBI).
Ekpa, who was remanded in prison by the district court of Päijät-Häme in Finland for “spreading terrorist propaganda on social media,” is accused by the Nigerian government of leading violent pro-Biafra secessionist campaigns in the South-east, leading to the loss of several lives and crippling the economy of the region.
According to a BBC report yesterday, the self-declared Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile was arrested alongside four others linked to deadly violence in southeastern Nigeria.
