Simon Ekpa, IPOB spokesman, arrested in Finland

The spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has been arrested in Finland.

Prior to his arrest, the Finish authority had in a letter issued a warning that he should in 48 hours reverse the order he gave to his IPOB faction to disrupt the 2023 election in Biafraland, which he said covers the whole of the Niger Delta area.

Simon Ekpa equally denigrated the warning issued, saying that the Finish authority did not issue any letter and he tagged the letter fake.

Simon Ekpa was arrested by Interpol less than 48 hours to the general election even as his group has continued to unleash violence in the South-East.

His arrest comes as President Muhammadu Buhari in a broadcast vowed to bequeath to Nigeria a free, fair and violent free election warning trouble makers to stay away during the election.

He has also advised Nigerians to go out and vote peacefully in exercise of their civic duty and that everything will be done to ensure they vote in peace.

Already, security has been beefed up in readiness for the election.
