Simon Ekpa must be prosecuted, Finnish government giving him support— Chief of Defence Staff

Christopher Musa, the chief of defence staff (CDS), says Simon Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), must be arrested and prosecuted.

Musa spoke on Wednesday during a Channels Television special broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 2024 Democracy Day.

Ekpa is based in Finland and has continued to issue the sit-at-home order in IPOB’s and Kanu’s names.

Musa accused the government of Finland of shielding Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed prime minister of the IPOB.
