Finland Begins Terrorism Trial Against Biafran Separatist Leader Simon Ekpa

Simon Ekpa, a Nigerian-born Finnish citizen and self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), appeared before the Päijät-Häme District Court in Finland on Friday, May 30, 2025, as his terrorism trial commenced. 

Finnish prosecutors have charged Ekpa with participating in a terrorist organization and publicly inciting crimes for terrorist purposes. The charges stem from allegations that he used social media platforms to incite violence and unrest in southeastern Nigeria as part of his separatist activities.  

Prosecutors are seeking a six-year prison sentence, citing substantial evidence of Ekpa’s online activities and communications. Ekpa has denied all charges, including allegations of ordering weapons for pro-Biafra groups.  

The trial has garnered significant attention both in Finland and Nigeria, with supporters and critics closely monitoring the proceedings.
