The Court of Appeal in Finland has reduced Simon Ekpa’s six-year jail term to four years.
PREMIUM TIMES reported that the Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland, last year, sentenced Mr Ekpa to six years in prison after finding him guilty of terrorism-related charges.
Apart from terrorism, the Finnish court also convicted Mr Ekpa of “aggravated tax fraud.”
But Mr Ekpa appealed the judgement at a higher court.
Delivering judgement on Thursday, the appeal court upheld the decision by Päijät-Häme District Court which found the Biafra agitator guilty of terrorism.
The court, however, ordered the reduction of the six-year jail term imposed on the convict to four years, Yle, a Finnish newspaper, reported.
