SIMON EKPA RECANTS!

Tells Finland Court: ‘I’m Just A Content Creator’

 Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in exile, has denied allegations of sponsoring terrorism in Nigeria.

Appearing before a Finnish court in the Päijät-Häme district on November 21, Ekpa described his involvement with the Biafra movement as a “mere joke” and insisted he is primarily a content creator.

The Finnish Central Criminal Police arrested Ekpa in Lahti, Finland, as part of an Ekpa Recantsongoing investigation into allegations of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent. Authorities also detained four other suspects accused of financing activities linked to the charges against Ekpa. The arrests were confirmed in a statement on the Finnish police website, which detailed international collaboration during the investigation.

Ekpa’s alleged crimes date back to 2021 and center on accusations of incitement that may have contributed to the enforcement of “sit-at-home” orders in southeastern Nigeria. These orders, associated with the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have significantly disrupted economic activities and created tensions in the region.

While the court proceedings continue, Ekpa has faced growing international criticism and calls for accountability. His alleged role in influencing separatist actions in Nigeria has drawn attention, with observers highlighting the impact of his activities on the South East’s stability and economy.

The Finnish court is expected to evaluate the evidence presented by the prosecution and determine the next steps in the legal process. Meanwhile, Ekpa and his legal team maintain his innocence, dismissing the allegations as unfounded.
