The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa (CDS), has said that the requirements for the extradition of pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, to Nigeria have been forwarded to the Government of Finland.
The defence chief disclosed this on Channels Television‘s 2024 Year-In-Review programme on Tuesday December 31, 2024.
According to the CDS, “Legal action is going to be taken accordingly. I don’t want to say much about that but I’m happy he has been arrested.
“The Federal Government has actually forwarded most of the requirements to the Finnish Government. So, I’m sure the right thing will be done,” he added.
In November 2024, Finland authorities arrested Ekpa alongside four others on suspicion of terror-related activities, including incitement to violence and terrorism financing.
