BIG SHOCK As Biafra Minister Breaks Silence On Leader’s Whereabouts, EXPOSES Alleged Intention Behind Viral Report
Sunny Akparawa, the United States of Biafra’ s Information Minister, has dismissed reports suggesting that Simon Ekpa, the self- proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Liberation Movement, is currently incarcerated in Finland. According to Akparawa, Ekpa has not been convicted of any crime, and claims about his imprisonment are fabrications aimed at discrediting the separatist leader.

” It’ s common to note that when you’ re undergoing investigations, your bank accounts will be put on hold until after investigations: get these facts right. Prime Minister @simon_ekpa is not in any prison, not convicted of any crime. The enemies of the Prime Minister inside their new government are feeding Nigeria’ s media with falsehoods to gain popularity and sympathy. They are playing on the emotions and love of Biafra people for the Prime Minister. Disregard this nonsense from the pit of hell. ”
This clarification comes amid widespread reports claiming that Ekpa is being held at the Kylmäkoski prison in Finland, which is known for its stringent security measures. These allegations followed the Finnish government’ s announcement of Ekpa’ s arrest, along with four others, on suspicion of terrorism- related activities, including incitement to violence and financing terrorism.
Simon Ekpa, a controversial figure in the struggle for Biafran independence, has long been under scrutiny for his incendiary rhetoric and alleged involvement in violent activities in Nigeria’ s southeastern region. Finnish authorities, in conjunction with international law enforcement, reportedly apprehended him and his associates to investigate their roles in promoting violence and funding activities linked to separatist movements.
Sources in Finnish media had earlier suggested that Ekpa’ s arrest and subsequent detention were part of a broader effort to curb activities deemed as threats to public safety and international peace. However, Akparawa’ s statement challenges these narratives, claiming they are orchestrated by adversaries to tarnish Ekpa’ s image and weaken the resolve of his followers.
The conflicting reports have sparked mixed reactions within and beyond Nigeria. Supporters of Simon Ekpa have rallied behind Akparawa’ s assertions, dismissing the allegations as propaganda designed to undermine the Biafran struggle. Many have expressed their unwavering support for Ekpa, reiterating their commitment to the quest for Biafran independence.
Conversely, critics and some Nigerian officials view Akparawa’ s statement as an attempt to deflect attention from the serious allegations against Ekpa. They argue that the Finnish government’ s involvement underscores the severity of the charges, which include incitement to violence, a concern that has plagued Nigeria’ s southeast for years.
Implications for the Biafran Movement
Simon Ekpa’ s role as a prominent voice for Biafran secession has made him a polarizing figure. While he enjoys significant support among a section of the Igbo populace, his methods, particularly the use of inflammatory language, have drawn condemnation. Nigerian authorities have accused him of fueling unrest in the southeast, where violent clashes and sit- at- home orders enforced by separatist groups have disrupted daily life.
If the allegations against Ekpa are proven, it could deal a significant blow to the Biafran movement, which has struggled with internal divisions and external pressures. On the other hand, if Akparawa’ s claims are accurate and Ekpa is indeed free, it could bolster his standing among his supporters, further galvanizing the push for independence.
As of now, Finnish authorities have neither confirmed nor denied Akparawa’ s claims. Their silence has added to the uncertainty surrounding Ekpa’ s current status. Meanwhile, international observers are closely monitoring the situation, given its potential implications for both Nigeria and Finland’ s foreign policy stance on separatist movements.
The controversy surrounding Simon Ekpa’ s alleged detention underscores the challenges facing the Biafran movement. With narratives from both sides continuing to dominate headlines, the truth about Ekpa’ s status remains unclear. For many, this incident highlights the broader tensions between those advocating for Biafran independence and those determined to maintain Nigeria’ s unity.
