BREAKING: Simon Ekpa sent to prison in Finland for spreading terrorist propaganda

A Finnish court has sent separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa, to a prison in the district court of Päijät-Häme.

Ekpa was arrested by the police for spreading terrorist propaganda on social media. He was said to have committed the crime in 2021 in Lahti municipality.

The Finnish National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) also arrested four other men over alleged terrorist offences.

The self-declared Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government In-Exile was remanded in prison by the Päijät-Häme District Court on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent, according to BBC.

Also, according to a local report, the Central Criminal Police in Finland confirmed the arrest in a statement on its website on Thursday, saying four individuals were arrested on suspicion of terrorist crimes.

The police said the main suspect was arrested “on suspicion of public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent”, while, “four other persons are suspected of financing the aforementioned activity. All five suspects of the crime have been arrested during the beginning of the week.”

“International cooperation has been carried out during the preliminary investigation.

“Claims will be heard in Päijät-Häme district court today, November 21″, the statement added.

There have been calls for the arrest of the separatist following his alleged involvement in the Sit-At-Home that has relatively crippled economic activities in the South East.
