Today, Thursday, February 23, 2023, the Finnish Police has arrested IPOB Finland based Sit-At-Home announcer and Biafra Separatist Leader, Simon Ekpa over his threats of no elections in Nigeria.
Recall Ekpa has threatened that any person in the South-Eastern Part of the Nigeria that tries to participate or vote in the 2023 General Elections scheduled to hold on Saturday Feb. 25th will be ruthlessly dealt with.
The Separatist leader has been fingered as being the arrowhead of several killing by ‘Unknown Gunmen’, a dangerous armed militia responsible for the deaths of several people and even public officials in the South-East.
Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), rose to prominence in July 2021 after he was announced as the lead broadcaster of Radio Biafra.
The Finland-based activist was appointed to replace Kanu following the re-arrest of the IPOB leader by the federal government. After some weeks, IPOB announced Ekpa’s disengagement, citing his refusal to sign the rules of engagement of Radio Biafra.
Business Hilights recalls that last week, the government of Nigeria made an appeal to Finland to get hold of fugitive considering the mayhem he has been causing in Nigeria over the years and on the general elections at hand. Accordingly, Finland government,in a letter, rightly warned him and advised him to retract the 5-day sit-at-home he announced which would have started today, Thursday.
Many Nigerians see the latest development as a plus for the Saturday’s presidential election especially in Nigeria and the permanent return of socio-economic peace to South East.
