Former Radio Biafra anchorman, Simon Ekpa has been arrested in Finland days before the general election in Nigeria.
Criminal Investigator, Tommi Reen from the Central Criminal Police informed public outlet that the Keskusrikospoliisi (KRP), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Finland had a police operation in a private apartment in the center of Lahti.
Tommi said that the operation was connected to an ongoing preliminary investigation but he did not comment further on the matter.
However, Nigerian had informed Finland to get involved in Ekpa’s matter through the Minister of Foreign Affairs,  Godfrey Onyeama who invited the Finnish ambassador, Leena Pylvänäinen to a meeting last week.
The Finland-based legal practitioner and a former athlete are known for his subversive comments against the country and its leadership.
The political activist had in recent years spoken against the unity of the country, insisting the Republic of Biafra must be achieved.
Ekpa increased his campaigns after June 2021 re-arrest and repatriation of Nnamdi Kanu, founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Security and intelligence service have linked the kidnapping and murders in the South-East to speeches made by Ekpa.
