|
||||||

<br>Finnish-Nigerian separatist leader [Simon Ekpa](https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/cdrd4djdx18o) has been detained in Finland together with 4 others on suspicion of terror-related activities, consisting of incitement to violence and terrorism funding.<br>
|
||||||

<br>According to local publication Yle, Ekpa was remanded in custody by the Päijät-Häme District Court on charges of public incitement to dedicate a crime with terrorist intent.<br>

<br>The publication reported that the Finnish Central Criminal Police confirmed the arrests in a declaration on Thursday, noting that the other suspects were apprehended for presumably financing terrorist activities.<br>

<br>"The detention needs are related to an initial examination in which a Finnish person of Nigerian descent, born in the 1980s, is thought of public incitement to devote a criminal offense with terrorist intent," the cops stated.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ekpa is accused of coordinating violent actions versus civilians and authorities in Nigeria's South-East area from Finland, using social media platforms to advance his program.<br>

<br>Detective Chief Inspector Otto Hiltunen, who leads the examination, revealed, "The man has actually carried out this activity, to name a few things, on his social media channels." <br>
|
||||||
|
<br>The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation divulged that Ekpa, along with the other suspects, 2 of whom reside in Helsinki, faces charges of funding terrorism.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>This is not Ekpa's very first encounter with Finnish authorities. In 2023, he was quickly apprehended on accusations of fundraising fraud.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ekpa has actually also gained notoriety for his separatist rhetoric, particularly his calls to disrupt Nigerian elections.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>In 2023, he stated in an extensively distributed social networks video, "No elections will be held! Nigerian elections will not be allowed in Biafran territory."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Finnish police stated that global cooperation has been vital to the examination. The suspects' hearings are set up for Thursday. <br>
