Following the recent comments by the Finnish government regarding Simon Ekpa, Nigerians have voiced strong reactions, demanding that the self-proclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) be held accountable for his actions.
Ekpa, who has been accused of inciting violence and promoting secessionist agendas, has long been a figure of controversy in Nigeria. The Finnish government’s remarks, suggesting potential consequences for Ekpa, have sparked widespread discussion across the nation.
Citizens, including some of those from regions most affected by the unrest linked to Ekpa’s activities, are calling for swift action. Many Nigerians believe that Ekpa’s rhetoric has fueled tensions and contributed to instability, particularly in the Southeast.
As the Finnish authorities hint at possible legal actions, Nigerians are hopeful that justice will be served, and Ekpa will finally “face his music.”
Below are some of the reactions by Nigerians following comments by the Finnish government suggesting that action are being taken regarding Ekpa’s case.
