FG Gives Update On Plans To Extradite Simon Ekpa To Nigeria

The Federal Government has provided updates on the efforts to extradite Simon Ekpa back to the country.

Ekpa, a pro Biafra agitator had been in the custody of the authorities of Finland, after they arrested him on November, 21.

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Christopher Musa, who provided the update, said the federal government has submitted most of the requirements for Simon Ekpa’s extradition to Nigeria.

Musa spoke on Channels Television’s 2024 year-end review programme on Tuesday.

“Well, I’m sure he is cooling off somewhere. Legal action is going to be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say much about that, but I’m happy he has been arrested,” he said.

A district court in Päijät-Häme later sent the Finland-based Ekpa to prison for “spreading terrorist propaganda on social media”.
