Nigerian Finnish separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa has been arrested in Finland over alleged involvement in terror-related activities.
According to BBC Pidgin, the self-declared Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile was arrested by the Finnish police. He was remanded in prison by the Päijät-Häme District Court on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
Also, according to The Sun, the Central Criminal Police in Finland confirmed the arrest in a statement on its website on Thursday. It stated that four individuals were arrested on suspicion of terrorist crimes.
According to the police, the main suspect was arrested “on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent”. While four others were arrested “for financing a terrorist crime”.
“Claims will be heard in Päijät-Häme district court today, November 21″, the statement added.
Recall that there have been calls for the arrest of Ekpa by some leaders in the Southeast region. The call is following his alleged involvement in the Sit-At-Home order in the region.
Since the illegal order became effective, the economic activities in the Southeast have crumbled. With businesses and other social activities grounded on Mondays. This is even as residents in the Southeast States prefer to stay in-doors out of fear of attacks.
