Finland takes legal action against pro-Biafran agitator Simon Ekpa for secessionist activities in Nigeria.

Finland is taking legal action against pro-Biafran agitator Simon Ekpa for his involvement in secessionist activities in Nigeria's South-East region, according to Finland's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Elina Valtonen. Ekpa, a Finnish citizen of Nigerian origin, has been pushing for the secession of Nigeria's South-east region and parts of neighboring states as a sovereign Biafra nation. The case is now before Finnish courts, as Finland faces the challenge of navigating the line between Ekpa's rights to freedom of expression and the criminality of his incitement to violence.
