WAHALA! Tinubu’s Govt Receives BAD- NEWS After Submitting Requirements To Extradite Simon Ekpa; SEE What Top Biafra Govt Official Alleged
The Nigerian government’ s pursuit of separatist leader Simon Ekpa has encountered significant obstacles, following the submission of extradition documents to Finland.
Ekpa, a dual Finnish- Nigerian citizen and prominent figure in the Biafra separatist movement, was arrested by Finnish authorities in November 2024 on charges related to terrorism and violence in Nigeria’ s southeastern region.
Despite the Nigerian government’ s formal request for extradition, legal experts highlight that Finland, in line with European Union policies, does not extradite its citizens outside the EU. This legal framework presents a formidable challenge to Nigeria’ s efforts to bring Ekpa to trial domestically.

Ngozi Orabueze, Chief of Defense and Deputy Prime Minister of the self- proclaimed Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), addressed the situation, stating, ” Simon’ s interrogation is advancing, and we hope the restriction will be lifted soon; he has more access to his family now. ”
Orabueze further criticized the Nigerian government’ s actions, asserting that Ekpa has no case to answer and will soon be released from investigation. She urged the public to disregard statements from Nigerian officials, specifically naming General Christopher Musa, Nigeria’ s Chief of Defense Staff, whom she referred to as a ” terrorist enabler. ”
The Nigerian government has accused Ekpa of inciting violence in the southeastern region through his social media platforms, promoting actions that have led to attacks on civilians and authorities. In response, Finnish authorities detained Ekpa and four others in November 2024, citing suspicions of public incitement to commit crimes with terrorist intent.
General Christopher Musa had accused the Finnish government and the European Union of shielding Ekpa. He emphasized the challenges posed by the lack of an extradition agreement between Nigeria and Finland, noting that Ekpa’ s dual citizenship complicates the situation further.
The Biafra separatist movement, which seeks independence for Nigeria’ s southeastern region, has a tumultuous history, including a civil war from 1967 to 1970 that resulted in significant loss of life. In recent years, the movement has gained renewed momentum, with Ekpa emerging as a central figure advocating for the cause from abroad.
The current impasse underscores the complexities of international law and the challenges nations face when dealing with citizens involved in activities deemed criminal by their home countries. As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how both Nigeria and Finland will navigate the legal and diplomatic intricacies involved.
