Authorities in Finland have reportedly arrested pro-Biafra agitator and self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa.
The development was confirmed by Finland-based news outlet HS and it was also revealed that the police escorted the separatist out of his apartment in Lahti.
They claimed to have gone to Ekpa’s residence for an interview but to their surprise, the Finland police, KRP, answered when the HS team rang the separatist bell.
The HS said the KRP prevented their team from entering Ekpa’s apartment and said that the interview would be moved “to the future”.

“According to information available to us, the image is verified by Helsingin Sanomat, a Finnish newspaper; in it, Ekpa is seen being escorted out of his home in Lahti by plainclothes Finnish police”, the official shared.
