Finnish authorities have frozen the assets of Simon Ekpa, a prominent figure in the Biafran separatist movement, amid ongoing allegations of involvement in terrorism-related activities. Ekpa, who has been in detention for several weeks, faces serious charges linked to his advocacy for Biafra’s secession from Nigeria.
Reports from *Sahara Reporters* reveal that, in addition to freezing Ekpa's personal assets, Finnish authorities have also targeted companies connected to Ekpa and four of his alleged accomplices, who are also currently in remand. The local news outlet *Yle* confirmed these developments, shedding light on Ekpa's detention at Kylmäkoski Vankila (Kylmäkoski Prison), a high-security facility renowned for its strict conditions.
Located in Vanhamaantie, Akaa, Finland, Kylmäkoski Prison is one of the country's most secure institutions, often described as one of the toughest prisons in the world. It appears that Ekpa may remain in custody through the upcoming holiday season, as Finnish authorities have shown no signs of easing their stance on his detention.
The freezing of assets and Ekpa’s continued imprisonment signal Finland's firm approach in handling individuals linked to terrorism and separatist activities.
