Simon Ekpa, a Finnish-Nigerian separatist agitator, has been arrested in Finland for his involvement in terrorism-related operations.
According to BBC Pidgin, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile was remanded in prison by the Päijät-Häme District Court on charges of public encouragement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
According to The Sun, the Central Criminal Police of Finland confirmed the arrest in a statement posted on its website on Thursday, stating that four people were detained on suspicion of terrorist acts.
According to the police, the primary suspect was detained “on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent,” while four others were arrested “for financing a terrorist crime.”
“Claims will be heard in Päijät-Häme district court today, November 21,” the statement read.
There have been calls for the separatist’s arrest following his apparent involvement in the Sit-At-Home protests, which have significantly hampered economic activity in the Southeast.
