The Nigerian army has expressed satisfaction with the arrest and detention of Simon Ekpa, IPOB self acclaimed leader, in Finland.
The Nigerian Army says it is satisfied with the arrest and detention of Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra .He was subsequently detained by the Päijät-Häme District court on “probable cause for incitement to commit crimes with terrorist intent”.
The NBI said the efforts are believed to have been coordinated from Finland, including through Ekpa’s social media channels.Authorities in Nigeria have long clamoured for Ekpa’s arrest and extradition for fanning embers of chaos, especially on social media. “CDS is happy with his arrest in Finland, with the hope this will be a step towards his extradition to Nigeria so that he will face justice,” Gusau said.Edward Buba, director of defence media operations, noted that the CDS was part of the voices that had called for Ekpa’s arrest following his “deep involvement in fueling terrorism” in the south-east.
