Simon Ekpa, the self-declared Biafra prime minister, will be charged with terrorism in May 2025.
Senior Detective Superintendent Mikko Laaksonen of Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation revealed the date by a Finnish court.
According to Laaksonen:
“Due to the ongoing investigation, no further details can be disclosed. The date for bringing up possible charges by the prosecution was set by the district court to May 2025.”
Following two weeks, he added, Ekpa and the Finnish authorities can ask for a re-evaluation.
Laaksonen said:
“In a basic situation regarding the remand, the next possible hearing can be held no earlier than two weeks from the previous hearing, should the parties in question seek for the matter to be re-evaluated by the district court.”
Simon Ekpa was detained together with four other people last Thursday on suspicion of engaging in actions connected to terrorism, such as inciting violence and funding terrorists.
Simon Ekpa was additionally charged with public encouragement to commit a crime with terrorist intent, and the Päijät-Häme District Court remanded him in detention.
