It would be recalled that Finnish authorities in November 2024, arrested Ekpa along with four others, on suspicion of involvement in terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.
The Lahti District Court in Finland ordered Ekpa’s remand based on probable cause for public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent in Nigeria.
Ekpa is accused of using social media to promote separatist propaganda and violently advocating for the secession of southeastern Nigeria.
