A lot of people, especially Igbos, will like to see him extradited, but the chance of that happening is very slim, probably zero, if he’s a Finnish citizen

The option Nigeria has is to push for ter***sm charges against him. That way if found guilty and jailed, he could possibly be stripped of his citizenship and deported after his jail time.

The case will likely outlive TPain’s government though.

I think you're right

Desusi:
The same was said of Nnamidi KANU.Don't be surprised that simon ekpa will arrive Nigeria tomorrow. We are talking about world politics

in which Nigeria and its people are inconsequential

Really? you must be one of Hague jury to have counted a sovereign state inconsequential.My brother don't take things for granted and have false hope.Did you know ekpa and four others have been arrested already following a tough case at hand?Let's Wait and see.

nigeria is a sovereign state on paper. Nothing more. Is this even a normal country .
Nb. See how I wrote nigeria with the small n. Naso we dey write am now

A lot of people have already started saying that Simon Ekpa will be extradited to Nigeria. Forget that idea, it is not possible

Simon Ekpa is a citizen of Finland. No country in Europe ever extradites its citizen to a country with bad human rights record, such as Nigeria

If people recall, when the war in Ukraine started, Finland applied to join NATO but was opposed by Turkey. Turkey demanded that Finland should extradite some Turkish activists who were based in Finland

Finland flatly said no to Turkey stating that it was against the European Convention On Human Rights for it to hand over people to a country like Turkey with questionable human rights record.

These Turkish activists were not even Finland citizens yet. So anyone who thinks Finland will ever hand over Ekpa, it's own citizen, to Nigeria, should perish the thought. Finland is not lawless Kenya

It's never going to happen

You are not Finland citizen... Same thing we heard about British Nnamdi Kalu. Why is Britain not coming for him

Remember why Ekpa was arrested in the first place...

He may not be extradited, he's Finnish. Let the Nigerian government focus on economic &security saboteurs like dat Nnpc man ,ex Kogi man , ex zamfara man etc.

The European Convention On Human Rights prohibits the extradition of an individual to country with very bad human rights record where they are most likely to face persecution. A country like Nigeria

It's never going to happen

Finland has since elected a hard-right government into power.

I warned you guys that the new conservative government will not be all too tolerant to Ekpa using their country as a staging ground to promote terrorism.

Ekpa has also been accused of recruiting mercenaries to fight on the side of Ukrainians.

The Israeli government had passed a law about two days ago signalling to recruit 30,000 African mercenaries to fight their multiple wars in the ME. I am sure Ekpa and his terror network were about to supply Netanyahu with disposable soldiers to fight their wars for them in exchange for Israeli citizenship. Finland isn't a fan of the ongoing genocide being commited in Gaza and on Palestinians.

What you are seeing at play is greater than what you can ever comprehend.

gidgiddy:
It's not a matter of Ekpa losing his citizenship. When Finland applied to join NATO in 2022, Turkey opposed it. Turkey said that the price Finland would pay to join NATO was for it to extradite some Turkish activists based in Finland

Finland rejected that and said that under the European Convention On Human Rights, it cannot extradite people within the country to another country that has bad human rights record

The European Convention On Human Rights bars all European countries from extradition people to places where they face persecution, and it is determined by the countries Human Rights record. That of Nigeria is very bad

Why do you think the Nigerian Government could not extradite Ekpa long before now? It was pointless

Can Simon Ekpa lose his citizenship on the basis of an act of terrorism?

You are just ranting. Go and read what the Finland government said about his arrest. If the government press for his extradition as they have done, go and mark it down, that before the year end, he will be cooling in kuje prison. Do you know what is called international relationship. He is already a dot in the circle.

The current Finish Government is conservative compared to the last and is focused on reducing immigration .

They are also one of the staunchest anti-Zionist coalition government and have voiced severally against the IDF genocidal war in Gaza.

They got into power after the last government dragged Finland into NATO. They want to normalise relationship with Russia who is just next door and have refused to house US missiles. The current PM has refused to pander to Zelensky and has called for a ceasefire and a return to negotiations.

The plan by Netanyahu to recruit 30,000 African mercenaries into the IDF genocidal war in return for Israeli citizenship would have surely be on Ekpa and iPOB Zionist minds.

I am sure the latter is why the Finish Government decided to get Ekpa arrested.

Ekpa is surely going to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

Ekpa may get a legal order barring him from being extradited back to Nigeria citing human rights issues but what is sure is that he will be facing a criminal trial that will see his citizenship stripped and he sent to prison and after that deported to any country wishing to grant him asylum.

Ekpa should pray that the Zionist state still exists after his legal ordeal is over because that's the only country on earth that might grant him asylum after he finishes his jail time.

The government of Finland is no longer a vassal puppet of the woke West.

trutharena:
Ekpa is a freedom fighter and he will never be extradited to Nigeria.

It's funny how you guys talk as if Igbos are slaves in Nigeria.Countless of Igbos have been murdered in cold blood because of what he has instigated... I think it would be better for him to be extradited to Nigeria so he can lead from here instead of cowardly commanding from proxy! Freedom fighter ko fraudulent fighter Ni! Who him dey whine?

Simon won't step into the zoo anytime soon

It does not matter if he loses his citizenship, no European country sends a person to another country where they are likely to face persecution, no matter their citizenship. It's against European law

No European country will send an activist to a country that has such bad human rights record like Nigeria. It never happens

He will not be allowed to remain a day in Finland if his citizenship is revoked.

The Finish government will ship him to any country willing to offer him asylum.

I see him being dropped in Kenya .

Yes he can.

He isn't a natural born Finn .

As I write this, Finland ambassador to Kenya is negotiating that Kenya take in Simon Ekpa.

Finland is not Nigeria, it operates on the rule of law. There are refugees right now in Finland who have no papers but aee allowed to stay as their claim of persecution is assessed

It doesn't matter if Finland revoked Simon Ekpa's citizenship, they are not allowed to send him to a country where he faces persecution. It is against the European Convention On Human Rights

If you think Finland will break that Convention because of a country with bad human rights record like Nigeria, you will learn that Finland is not Kenya or Nigeria

Not when the individual has been convicted of terrorism charges.

Ekpa will eventually be convicted by a Finish Court and when he exhausts all legal appeals and is sent to jail ,after his sentence is duly completed, he will be stripped of his citizenship and before he even completes his term in prison, Finland would have shopped around for a country to take him in .

I see Kenya stepping up to this responsibility.

All of this is pointless. Nnamdi Kanu has been in detention for over three years, situation is worse

Simon Ekpa is in detention in Finland or Nigeria, situation will still be as bad

So what's the point?

But of course Nigerians don't care about what will bring peace. That's why they are busy talking nonsense about if Simon Ekpa will be sent to Nigeria whike the country drowns in insecurity
