Fiinnish Authorities Freeze Simon Ekpa’s Assets, Detain Him in Maximum Security Prison

The Finnish government has frozen the assets of Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed Biafran agitator, and detained him in the Kylmäkoski prison, a maximum security facility.

Ekpa is facing charges of terrorism-related offences, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.

According to the Finnish authorities, Ekpa utilised social media to incite violence in Nigeria’s South-East region, targeting civilians and government officials.

A Finnish court has remanded him on charges of public incitement to commit crimes with terrorist intent.

The Kylmäkoski prison, where Ekpa is currently held, is known for accommodating people who have committed serious crimes, including violent suspects and sex offenders.
