Simon Ekpa, the leader of the Biafran separatist movement, has been arrested by Finnish authorities on suspicion of inciting terrorist acts. This move has been hailed by Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters, which had previously declared Ekpa wanted for terrorism, kidnapping, and other crimes.
Ekpa, who represents the National Coalition Party on Lahti’s public transport committee, has been accused of using social media to incite violence and unrest in southeastern Nigeria. The arrest is a significant development in the ongoing tensions between Nigeria and the Biafran separatist movement.
