Following the arrest and detention of Simon Epka, by the Government of Finland, President Tinubu’s administration has formally submitted the necessary requirements for his extradition.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, confirmed this on Tuesday while speaking on Channel TV.
General Musa said that all necessary documentation and legal requirements for extradition of Ekpa, a pro-Biafran agitator, have been forwarded to Finland for review.
The move is part of Nigeria’s ongoing efforts to address the activities of Ekpa accused of inciting unrest and promoting terrorism and secessionist agendas within the country.
According to General Musa, “ I don’t want to say much but am sure he’s cooling off somewhere.”
The Nigeria Government has provided most of the required documentation to the Finnish Government, so I’m confident the right steps will be taken.” Musa declared.
It will be recalled that 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 advocate for the secession of southeastern Nigeria.
