The Nigerian government has formally 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.
Musa said: “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.”
In November 2024, Finnish authorities arrested Ekpa along
with four others, on suspicion of involvement in terror-related activities,
including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.
The Lahti District Court in Finland 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.
