The Deputy Prime Minister of Biafra United States, Dr Ngozi Orabueze, said that Finland and Nigeria are in a secret bargain to silence and frustrate the Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, and the Biafra actualisation.
Orabueze disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, accusing the Finnish government of deliberately prolonging the detention of Ekpa.
According to her, the arrest of Ekpa is an unlawful ploy to physically, mentally, and psychologically frustrate him to drop Biafra agitation.
This comes Orabueze called for the immediate release of Ekpa while the investigation of his alleged offences is ongoing in line with the European Union’s treaties.
“There was a purported bargain between Finland and the Nigerian government to silence the voice of Biafran citizens ledz by PM Simon Ekpa.
“The Finland government’s long continued detention of its citizen Simon Ekpa while investigation is ongoing for a purported terrorist act complaint from Nigeria smarks a calculated attempt for Finland to “sell its EU citizen to Nigeria.
“The unlawful action by the Finland government to psychologically, physically, and emotionally break Biafra Prime Minister Simon Ekpa.
“Echoing the same context as the Organisation of Emerging African States, OEAS, Finland’s action to hurt African freedom fighters is not only destructive to innocent individuals seeking self-determination but also increases the death of innocent citizens that are being protected by the freedom fighters.
“Finland and Norway should respect human rights, self-determination, and self-defence and not participate in the criminalization of freedom fighters such as PM Simon Ekpa.
“He should be released while their investigation continues. The independence of Biafra is not an individual thing,” she stated.
This comes as OEAS on Thursday in a press conference raised an alarm over the continued detention of Simon Ekpa and Ayaba Cho in Norway and Finland over alleged terrorism acts.
Recall that on November 18, 2024, Ekpa was arrested by the Finnish police for an alleged violence incitement and terrorism in his home country, Nigeria.
Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa, recently said the country had concluded the requirement to extradite Ekpa from Finland.
