‘Nigeria has concluded plans to sever ties with Finland’ – Simon Ekpa claims



The Simon Ekpa-led Biafra Republic Government In-Exile has alleged that the Nigerian government has concluded plans to sever diplomatic ties with the government of Finland.


Ekpa made the claims in a statement on his official X handle on Thursday.


His claim is coming a few days after the Finnish government spoke on legal proceedings involving Ekpa.


Finland’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen, who spoke after a meeting between Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, and the foreign ministers of Sweden, Finland, Iceland, as well as representatives from Norway and Denmark, said Ekpa’s case was being handled through Finland’s judicial system, which operates strictly by the rule of law.


The Nigerian Government has been pursuing attempts aimed at extraditing Ekpa to the country.


Reacting to the development, the Biafra agitator, who is based in Finland, said the latest move comes amid several failed attempts to seek his extradition.


“The Nigeria state has run out of options and ideas that they have concluded to close the Finnish embassy in Abuja and cut ties with Finland.


“Finland will have a better future with the emerging state of Biafra than whatever the Nigeria state can offer.


“Norway closed their embassy in Nigeria long ago; their Embassy is now in Ghana, they lose nothing but the burden of sorting fake and forged documents relieved”, he claimed.


Ekpa had recently alleged of a fifth attempt to assassinate him in Finland.
