Simon Ekpa, a Finnish politician and Biafran activist, has been sentenced to prison by a Finnish court for spreading terrorist propaganda on social media. This verdict came after Ekpa and four others were arrested by the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on terrorism charges.
Rise to Prominence
Ekpa’s activism gained mainstream attention in February 2023, with his speeches on Twitter garnering around 800,000 views. He declared himself the “Prime Minister” of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE) in 2023 and attacked WTO Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Twitter.
Controversy and Criticism
Ekpa’s actions have been met with criticism, particularly from Igbo indigenes in southeastern Nigeria, due to the forced every Monday sit-at-home protests for the incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kalu by the Nigerian government. These protests have crippled economic prosperity in the region.
Background on Biafra
Biafra was a partially recognized state in West Africa that declared independence from Nigeria and existed from 1967 to 1970. The territory was predominantly inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group and was established by Igbo military officer Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Biafra was recognized by several countries, including Gabon, Haiti, and Tanzania.
Mazi Nnamdi Kalu and IPOB
Mazi Nnamdi Kalu is a British political activist advocating for Biafra’s secession and independence from Nigeria. He leads the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), founded in 2012, aiming to restore the defunct Republic of Biafra.
Nigerian Government’s Response
The Nigerian senate asked Finland to extradite Ekpa in July 2023. Ekpa’s activities have been linked to violence and unrest in Nigeria, with the Nigerian government accusing him of terrorism and kidnapping. However, Ekpa claims to be fighting for Biafra’s independence and has announced the formation of the Biafra Liberation Army (BLA), a militant group fighting for secession from Nigeria.
Thank You Jesus,
Salvation Prayers
If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:
Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
