Finnish Authorities Freeze Assets of Biafran Agitator Simon Ekpa Amid Terrorism Allegations
Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Biafran agitator, has had his assets frozen by Finnish authorities due to allegations of terrorism-related activities. Ekpa, who has been detained for several weeks, is being held at the Kylmäkoski prison in Finland, known for being one of the world’s toughest prisons.
The Finnish government has also frozen the assets of companies associated with Ekpa and four of his accomplices, who are also in remand. Ekpa has been remanded on charges of public incitement to commit crimes with terrorist intent.
The Kylmäkoski prison, where Ekpa is being held, is a high-security facility that accommodates people who have committed serious crimes, including violent suspects and sex offenders. The prison currently houses 113 prisoners, mostly convicts and remand inmates.
