Pro-Biafra separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa, has been arrested by authorities in Finland.
According to a Finland news outlet, Helsingin Sanomat (HS), the police escorted the separatist out of his apartment in Lahti, on Thursday morning.
The medium claimed that they had gone to Ekpa’s residence for an interview but to their surprise, the country’s police, KRP, answered when the HS team rang the separatist’s bell.
HS said the KRP prevented their team from entering Ekpa’s apartment and said that the interview would be moved “to the future.”
Before his arrest on Thursday, Nigerians all over the world have signed a petition appealing to the Finnish government, Nigerian Government and the European Union to arrest Ekpa, the brain behind the sit-at-home order in the South East.
Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, had repeatedly ordered the people of South East to observe a sit-at-home and asked them to boycott the country’s general elections billed to commence this weekend.
