BREAKING NEWS: Court in Finland Jails Simon Ekpa 6 years For terrorism 

(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland has sentenced Simon Ekpa, a pro-Biafra agitator, to six years in prison after finding him guilty of terrorism-related offences.

The ruling, delivered on Monday, found Ekpa guilty of inciting terrorism and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.

According to Yle, a Finnish newspaper, the court said Ekpa had used his “significant social media following” to fuel unrest in the South-East between August 2021 and November 2024.

In a unanimous decision, the three-member panel of judges described him as an influential figure within a militant separatist movement seeking to establish a Biafra state from Nigeria.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has described the sentencing of Mr Simon Ekpa as a significant step forward in Nigeria’s campaign against terrorism.
