Finnish authorities have frozen assets belonging to Simon Ekpa, controversial pro-Biafra agitator, over alleged terrorism.
On November 21, Ekpa was arrested by law enforcement in Finland. Four other men were also arrested for suspected terrorism.
The secessionist was subsequently sent to prison by the district court of Päijät-Häme for “spreading terrorist propaganda on social media”.
Ekpa was said to have committed the crime in 2021 in Lahti municipality.
He is accused of instigating violence and inciting terror in the south-east of Nigeria through his social media pages.
Nigeria’s federal government has been demanding the extradition of Ekpa, a dual citizen of Finland and Nigeria, for prosecution.
