Valtonen revealed that Ekpa’s case is currently being addressed by Finnish courts. She noted that discussions about the case had taken place with Nigerian authorities and emphasized that the legal proceedings are within Finland’s judicial system.
The issue was also brought up during a meeting with Nigerian officials on Tuesday. However, Valtonen did not provide specific details about the legal process.
The Nigerian government has long called for significant actions from Finland and the European Union to curb Ekpa’s provocative social media activities, which are believed to be contributing to violence and instability in Nigeria’s South-East region.
Valtonen, along with other Nordic officials, arrived in Nigeria on Monday for discussions on peace, security, trade, and investment. The delegation includes Sweden’s Foreign Minister Tobias Billström, Iceland’s Foreign Minister Thórdís Kolbrún Reykfjörd Gylfadóttir, Norway’s State Secretary for International Development Bjørg Sandkjær, and Denmark’s Under Secretary for Foreign Policy Eva Marie Frida Barløse.
The Nordic ministers met with Nigerian officials and representatives from the West African regional body, ECOWAS, to discuss security, economic cooperation, education, trade, and rule of law.
While Valtomen did not explicitly name Ekpa, her remarks clearly referred to him, indicating that his case has been a point of contention in the diplomatic relations between Finland and Nigeria. Valtomen emphasized that Finland is committed to handling the case according to the rule of law, stressing that it remains a judicial matter rather than a political one.
She concluded, “The case is managed within our judicial system, and we hope for a resolution soon.
