According to report published on Finnish local news platforms, obtained by Africhome the Finnish Central Criminal Police command, ordered the arrest of Simon Ekpa in his home in Lahti over his incitements of criminal terrorist attacks and fraudulent activities in Eastern Nigeria, and will be charged to court in earnest on Thursday, 21st November 2024.

The police want four more people to be arrested for financing the crime of terrorism.”, The report reads in part
Recall, that Mr Ekpa since 2021 after the kidnap and extraordinary rendition of the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) movement has been involved in destructive violent crimes in the South-East Nigeria masquerading under the veil of Biafra agitation to perpetrate his crimes at the behest of covert local and international sponsors.
His activities have been falsely pinned on the IPOB movement – who has stated its position as a non-violent group. However, IPOB has comprehensively debunked its involvement with Ekpa on multiple occasions through press statements and affirmations by its senior officials.
IPOB denounced Mr Ekpa as early as 2021 shortly after the tragic ordeal of its Leader in Kenya, and maintained that he, Simon, was never a registered member of global IPOB movement or the unit family member in his country of residence, Finland.
Subsequently, Mr Ekpa was arrested in early 2023 by Finnish authorities but was later released. However, Mr Ekpa has been threatening residence of South East with destruction ahead of what he calls “Redeclaration of Biafra” in Finland on 2nd December 2024.
