The Nigerian government has formally submitted the necessary requirements to the Government of Finland for the extradition of Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa.
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, disclosed this on Channels Television on Tuesday.
Musa said: “Well, I’m sure he’s cooling off somewhere.
“Legal action will be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say too much, but I’m glad he’s been arrested.
“The Federal Government has provided most of the required documentation to the Finnish Government, so I’m confident the right steps will be taken.”

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.
