FG Eyes Repatriation of Ekpa After Finland Jail Verdict

The Federal Government is considering repatriating Simon Ekpa, a Nigerian citizen, following a six-year jail verdict in Finland for aggravated tax fraud and incitement to commit terrorist acts. Ekpa, a former municipal politician in Lahti, was found guilty of promoting separatist activities related to the Biafra agitation.

The court ruled that Ekpa used social media to incite violence and supported illegal activities in Nigeria. Despite Ekpa's denial, the court unanimously convicted him.

The Nigerian government may take action upon Ekpa's completion of his prison term, reflecting the international legal implications of his actions.
