The Finnish Police have revealed why the self-proclaimed leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa‘s Offense is not bailable.
Edum News reports that the Finnish Police revealed that the country’s legal system does not allow for bail in cases like that of Ekpa, so he will remain in custody until his trial.
Recall that the self acclaimed Biafra leader who is a dual citizen of Nigeria and Finland, was arrested on November 21 by Finnish law enforcement.
He was subsequently remanded in custody by the district court of Päijät-Häme.
Ekpa is currently facing allegations of “spreading terrorist propaganda on social media,” a crime he is accused of committing in 2021 in Finland.
He is also charged with instigating violence and inciting terror in Nigeria’s southeast region through his online activities.
