Simon Ekpa Says Appeal Will Show He Was Wrongly Imprisoned

Simon Ekpa Says Appeal Will Show He Was Wrongly Imprisoned

Simon Ekpa says he is confident that his appeal will overturn his conviction in Finland. Ekpa, who describes himself as the prime minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, was convicted of terrorism-related offences connected to violence in Nigeria’s South-East. A Finnish district court sentenced him to six years in prison on September 1, 2025. Speaking during appeal proceedings on August 6, Ekpa said the wrong person had been imprisoned and maintained that the truth would emerge.

This case carries heavy implications because the reported offences are connected to violence in Nigeria's South-East.

Confidence in an appeal is understandable, but it does not by itself answer the issues behind a terrorism-related conviction.

It is best to follow the appeal process and the court's eventual reasoning rather than rely only on public declarations.
