Finland To Sue Tinubu For WRONGLY Accusing Simon Ekpa? SEE Facts As Biafrans’ Claim Goes Viral
A report has surfaced on social media alleging that the Finnish government is planning to sue the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu. The reported lawsuit pertains to accusations against Simon Ekpa, the self- proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE).
The claim, which has sparked widespread reactions online, was cited by the LATEST_NEWS Blog on X (formerly Twitter). According to the post, it is alleged that Finland intends to sue Nigeria at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for falsely accusing Ekpa of terrorism and for alleged atrocities committed against humanity.
The viral statement reads: ” BREAKING NEWS. FINLAND TO SUE NIGERIA IN THE INT’ L COURT OF JUSTICE FOR WRONGLY ACCUSING THEIR HIGH- PROFILE CITIZEN OF TERRORISM AND ALSO ON THE INJUSTICE AND ATROCITIES COMMITTED AGAINST HUMANITY. The table is getting set. ”
A thorough review of Finnish government media platforms and official statements reveals no confirmation of such legal action. No Finnish official or agency has issued a statement supporting the viral claim. This suggests that the report may have been fabricated, possibly to garner sympathy or attention for Simon Ekpa, who remains in custody.
Simon Ekpa, a dual Nigerian- Finnish citizen, was arrested on November 21, 2024, by Finnish authorities. The charges include allegations of terrorism, promoting economic instability, and orchestrating security breaches in Nigeria’ s southeastern region. Following his arrest, Ekpa was remanded in custody by a Finnish court.
The court also announced that his trial would commence in May 2025, ruling out the possibility of bail due to Finland’ s judicial system regulations.
Since his arrest, Ekpa’ s supporters have engaged in efforts to dispute the narrative of his detention. Some have circulated old videos, falsely claiming that he continues to participate in BRGIE activities. These attempts appear to be aimed at undermining the credibility of the charges and creating an alternative narrative around his case.
