Pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, has been sentenced to six years in prison by a district court in Finland for terrorism-related crimes. The sentence follows his arrest in November 2024, along with four other individuals, on allegations of engaging in terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.

Referred to as the self-declared Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government-in-Exile, Ekpa was accused by Finnish law enforcement of using social media platforms to incite violence in Nigeria’s South-East region, targeting both civilians and government authorities. Following his arrest, the Päijät-Häme District Court had ordered Ekpa to be held in custody on charges of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
