The trial of self-acclaimed Biafra Prime Minister, Simon Ekpa, has commenced in Finland.
Ekpa appeared before the Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland on Friday to face terrorism related charges.
In November 2024, Ekpa was arrested by the Finland government for alleged terrorism related activities.
He was accused of inciting violence and funding terrorism as part of his agitation for Biafra.
He was also accused of inciting violence and causing unrest in south-eastern Nigeria.
Ekpa was accused of sponsoring unknown gunmen wrecking havoc in the South-East under the guise of enforcing sit-at-home orders.
It was reported that the prosecutor is demanding a six-year prison sentence for Ekpa, arguing that his activities constitute terrorism under Finnish law.
The Guardian quoted the prosecutor, Sampsa Hakala, as saying: “We have a great deal of evidence regarding this individual’s online activity and communications.”;
