Finnish police on Thursday released a popular pro-Biafra separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa, hours after he was arrested and grilled.

The PUNCH earlier reported that Finnish authorities arrested Ekpa. The police escorted the separatist out of his apartment in Lahti.

Ekpa was later released on Thursday evening after the police allegedly arrested him for a suspected crime in Finland.

The Finnish Central Criminal Police confirmed Ekpa’s release on Thursday, according to HS reports.

The police claimed that its operation in Lahti and the subsequent arrest of the pro-Biafra agitator were in connection with the ongoing preliminary investigation.

“The person being questioned today is suspected of a crime. We will return to the title on Friday,” Tommi Reen from the Central Criminal Police told HS during a phone interview.

When contacted earlier, an official of the Finnish Embassy in Abuja who craves anonymity confirmed Ekpa’s arrest to The PUNCH.

“It is our understanding that he is currently in police custody in Finland,” the official who is not authorised to speak to the press told The PUNCH.

“According to information available to us, the image is verified by Helsingin Sanomat, a Finnish newspaper; in it, Ekpa is seen being escorted out of his home in Lahti by plainclothes Finnish police”, the official volunteered.

Before his eventual arrest on Thursday, Nigerians all over the world have signed a petition appealing to the Finnish government, Nigerian Government and the European Union to arrest Ekpa, the brain behind the sit-at-home order in the South-East.

Ekpa, a self-acclaimed disciple of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, in had repeatedly ordered the people of the South-East to observe a sit-at-home and asked them to boycott the country’s general elections billed for Saturday.

His repeated sit-at-home order has been marked by bloodshed and destruction of lives and properties in the region by its enforcers.

Tinubu Rents Fake bishops: P-Square’s Peter, activists, others knock APC

At the official presentation of former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as the running mate of the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, journalists watched in amusement as persons dressed as pastors and bishops showed up at the venue.

Their presence seemed to cause a stir as onlookers and guests stared hard at them as they walked into the reception of the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, dressed in their cassocks and habits, amid heavy security at the venue.

Nigerians have reacted to this as knocks have greeted the APC and its flagbearer, Tinubu, on social media.

Popular #EndSARS activist, Rinu Oduala, joined others in reaction on Twitter via her handle, @SavvyRinu, saying, “The APC is fielding a Muslim-Muslim ticket but went to rent fake bishops. What sort of ridicule is this? What message do they think this will send?”

Another tweep, @ejykmykel1, said, “Dear @OfficialAPCNg, We have only four female bishops in Nigeria: Bishop Oluremi, Ayotunde Obembe, Bishop Bola Odeleke, Bishop Peace Okonkwo, Archbishop Margaret Idahosa.

The tweep went further to ask the APC to publish the name of the female bishop seen in one of the pictures. “Can you help to publish the name of the female bishop at your occasion today? Nigerians are curious,” the tweep posted.


@TheoAbuAgada tweeted, “APC rented bishops at the unveiling of their vice-presidential candidate, Mallam Kashim Shettima. They are so desperate for validation.”

Popular social activist, Aisha Yesufu, also joined the trend, via @AishaYesufu, she posted, “Why do you think fake bishops need to be used at the unveiling of Shettima? That is waste of time. There are many that will be honoured to be invited. Most religious rulers need bad governance to sell cheap miracles whether pastors or Mallams. Know this and have peace.”

Popular Nigerian music artiste, Peter Okoye, tweeted in a funny way via @PeterPsquare, saying, “Fake bishops and even fake Peter Okoye! Naija!”

“I thought it was only fake Peter Okoye that is trending… They even created fake bishops today! God why?” He reacted in another tweet.

Another tweep, @Real_AmakaIke, posted, “Bishop spotted in the APC show of shame with Muslim prayer’s mat No be juju be that?”

@simeonegbeobasi, said, “Unknown bishops: If the Christian votes are not important to Tinubu and the APC, why this shameful make-believe desperation to win us over. Honestly, these are symptoms of a man that can kill a race for power.”

He will be rearrested is all preliminary actions before the main event ..

Anyways

Power to the people
North 2023

E too sure

Sai waziri Turakin

This was the the first time he would be released after being grilled by Finnish authorities. They are of the opinion that Ekpa's fundamental human rights must be protected given there isn't a proof of terrorism yet. A country that sympathetic to Ukraine would be the very last to trample on another person's right of expression, no matter how desperately some people wanted him arrested.

Nice one. No election in the EAST

Did you see the careful writings of the coward Ekpa? He is afraid of jail but deceives young people to endanger their lives carrying guns and killing innocent people in Igbo land. The day God finally closes up on Ekpa, underground solitary cell awaits him.

Masculine voice, sitting posture, carrying your shoulders high to look "superior" to others, talking with arrogance or assigning interview questions to other people to answer for you, doesn't make you PRESIDENTIAL.

To be presidential means to genuinely care about the poor masses like Peter Obi does.

It means to have a workable production formula with which to replace the sharing formula.

It means to be a simple man that sees dignity in labour.

It means to have financial prudence and the discipline to not steal public money even when nobody can question you.

It means to be ready to dismantle the evil structure (Cabals, money politics, etc) that has held this country down for decades and create an equal playing ground where the son of a nobody can become somebody without knowing anybody.

It means to place premium value on education and high level human capital development.

It means to be ready to end medical trips outside the country by the president and other public office holders, and to upgrade and use the same local healthcare facilities available to the common man, along with everyone working under you.

To be presidential means being more like Peter Obi than any of our current crop of Politicians.

Truly Peter Obi is a rare gem. Nigeria must not miss him because the next election under a Tinupoo or an Atiku presidency can NEVER never be as free and fair as Buhari is trying hard to make this election.

Be wise. Opportunity comes but once.

Vote for Labour Party's Peter Obi on Saturday to begin our journey to a better Nigeria

So fast not even till after election

Only a nonentity mod can push this half truth to front page

The Finnish police said it's continuing tomorrow with its investigations of Ekpa.

Finland is a First World country which cannot deny liberty even for a minute to a suspect.
It's not like Nigeria where a suspect languishes in prison until investigations are completed.
Simon Ekpa is not likely to come out of this free at last.

I love this guy, if igbos have 10 people like him, by now either we are free or we are respected in this country.

Ipob sympathizers will claim that Tinubu has bribed the Finnish government, set of dumb morön

Hold him again lol

Interesting 😎

So is it Jubril or Buhari that they want to help them extradite their nightmare?
