Finland authorities on Thursday arrested a man said to be a popular Nigerian separatist agitator, Simon Ekpa.

According to a Finland news outlet HS, the police escorted the separatist out of his apartment in Lahti.

The platform claimed that they had gone to Ekpa’s residence for an interview but to their surprise, the Finland police, KRP, answered when the HS team rang the separatist.
