The Enugu State Government has commended the Finnish government for the arrest of Simon Ekpa, describing him as a common criminal, conman and terrorist, who has no interest of Igbo people at heart.
Reacting to Ekpa’s incarceration, the state government in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Chidiebere Onyia, on Friday, described Ekpa as a murderer and fraudster, who delights in killing his people and living large off their misery.
The state government added that it is willing to provide evidence of sponsored atrocities against Ndigbo to aid Ekpa’s trial and conviction, either in Finland or in Nigeria.
“The Enugu State Government welcomes the arrest of the Finland-based terrorist, Simon Ekpa. His arrest and trial will no doubt, go a long way in strengthening peace, security, and stability in all parts of the South East.

“This arrest is in line with the demands of Governor Peter Mbah’s Administration, which has repeatedly made it known that Ekpa is a megalomaniac, common criminal, murderer, and fraudster, who takes joy in feeding fat on the manipulated emotions of Ndigbo and inflicting misery on the South East region.
“Ekpa has for long, and unfortunately from Finland, made a living by creating a siege climate and mentality in the South East, destroying lives, property, and the Igbo trademark of entrepreneurship and hard work.
“He thrives on manipulating, exploiting, and extorting the people on the pretext of fighting for their interest and for the restoration of Biafra,” the state government said.
