Finnish authorities on Thursday said they have arrested a popular pro-Biafra separatist agitator, identified as Simon Ekpa.
According to a Finland news outlet, HS, the police escorted the separatist out of his apartment in Lahti to their station for interrogation and detention.
The HS claimed they had gone to Ekpa’s residence for an interview but to their surprise, the Finnish police, KRP, answered when the HS team rang the bell at the resident of Ekpa.
The HS said the KRP prevented their team from entering Ekpa’s apartment and said that the interview would be moved “to the future”.
When contacted, an official of the Finnish Embassy in Abuja who craves anonymity confirmed Ekpa’s arrest on Thursday.
“It is our understanding that he is currently in police custody in Finland,” the official who is not authorised to speak to the press told journalists.
