Simon Ekpa, the self-acclaimed disciple of the Indigenous People of Biafra leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has appealed his six-year jail term for terrorism offences in Finland, according to a BBC Pidgin report.
The report said the Finnish Court of Appeal is expected to hear Ekpa’s appeal within the next three weeks.
Diaspora Tales learnt that the prosecutor handling the case argued that the six-year sentence imposed on Ekpa was inadequate for the terrorism offences.
Ekpa was arrested by Finnish authorities in November 2024 and subsequently charged with inciting terrorism and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
In September 2025, the Päijät-Häme District Court sentenced him to six years in prison after finding him guilty of the offences.
