Breaking: Finland Court Hands Prison Sentence To Simon Ekpa

Pro-Biafra activist Simon Ekpa has been sentenced to six years in prison by a district court in Finland for terrorism-related offenses.

In November 2024, the Finnish government announced Ekpa’s arrest, along with four others, over allegations of involvement in terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.

Finnish authorities confirmed that Ekpa, who calls himself the Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government-in-Exile, allegedly used social media to incite violence in the South-East region, targeting both civilians and government officials.

Following his arrest, the Päijät-Häme District Court ordered Ekpa to be held in custody on charges of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent.
