A District Court in Finland has sentenced Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Government in Exile, to six years imprisonment for terrorism-related offenses. WAFFI TV reports that Ekpa was arrested on November 21, 2024, by Finnish authorities following a probe by the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) into allegations that he incited terrorism and promoted violence through social media—activities linked to unrest in southeastern Nigeria. After his arrest, the Päijät-Häme District Court ordered his remand, ruling that the charges stemmed from “public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent,” with alleged offenses committed between August 2021 and November 2024. In the course of the investigation, the NBI also froze Ekpa’s assets, along with those belonging to his associates and affiliated companies.
