The self-proclaimed Biafra Prime Minister Simon Ekpa will shortly be extradited from Finland to Nigeria, according to a prosecuting witness on Friday.
Ekpa will be extradited to stand prosecution for support of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, according to a Federal Government witness.
Chief Kanu Agabi, Kanu’s lead attorney, cross-examined the witness, who was only named as “AAA” and a Department of State Services (DSS) employee, in the Federal High Court in Abuja, which was presided over by Justice James Omotosho.
The crew that arrested Kanu on October 15, 2015, at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Lagos included the witness.
He said that Ekpa was already under custody and that extradition processes were underway because of his support for IPOB and his involvement in “inciting violence.”

Additionally, the witness attested that when Kanu was arrested in 2015, no guns or other violent instruments were discovered in his hands.
The woman discovered in Kanu’s hotel room was not regarded as a suspect, he added, because it was proven that she had met the defendant on social media.
The witness stated that the woman was found not guilty.
After the proceedings, the trial was postponed by Justice Omotosho to May 6, 7, and 8, 2025.
Currently, the IPOB leader is on trial for terrorism-related offenses.
