The Nigerian government has formally submitted the necessary requirements to the Government of Finland for the extradition of Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa.
General Christopher Musa, the Chief of Defence Staff, made the known on Channels Television on Tuesday.
Musa stated: “Well, I’m sure he’s cooling off somewhere.
“Legal action will be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say too much, but I’m glad he’s been arrested.
“The Federal Government has provided most of the required documentation to the Finnish Government, so I’m confident the right steps will be taken.”
It should be recalled that on November 2024, Finnish authorities arrested Ekpa and four others on suspicion of involvement in terrorist-related acts such as exhortation to violence and financing of terrorism.
The Lahti District Court in Finland ordered Ekpa’s remand based on probable cause for public incitement to conduct a terrorist-related act in Nigeria.
The separatist leader has been accused of manipulating social media to spread separatist ideology and forcefully campaigning for the secession of southeastern Nigeria.
