A self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, has been released by the police in Finland. Ekpa was arrested by police at his residence in, Finland, on Thursday. He was picked up by the police just before he was to grant a newspaper interview, a Finland-based newspaper.
Hours later, HS reported that the Finland-based Biafra agitator had been released by the police after hours of questioning.
Recently, Ekpa declared that there will be no elections in the south-east zone of Nigeria.
Aside from the threat to elections, the Finland-based Nigerian had insisted that people of the south-east region must observe sit-at-home every Monday to protest the detention of Kanu.
The sit-at-home directive has been reportedly linked to killings in the south-east.
However, the leadership of IPOB through its spokesperson, Emmanuel Powerful, had distanced the group from the sit-at-home order issued by Ekpa.
