Simon Ekpa, the spokesperson of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has maintained that elections will not hold in the southeast after being freed by the Finnish police.
Ekpa was reportedly arrested on Thursday morning by officers from the Finnish Central Criminal Police due to his constant threats to boycott elections in southeastern states in order to actualise the liberation of Biafra.
However, he was released from police custody after hours of cross-examination.
Earlier this year, the Biafran agitator declared a sit-at-home in the southeast from February 23 to February 28 apparently to stop the conduct of the February 25 presidential and national assembly elections in the region.
This year 2023 is the Biafra liberation & Exit year from Nigeria. There is no amount of carnage by the Nigeria terrorist state that will stop Biafra from Exiting Nigeria this Year. Save those dates & wait for further instructions. Welcome to 2023! Wotowoto pro max with speed. pic.twitter.com/eA9hFi1mRY

Taking to his Twitter page on Friday, Ekpa celebrated the success of the day two of the sit-at-home while maintaining that there will be no election in the southeast region on Saturday.
I am the good guy!
All hail Biafra. Join me today as we celebrate the successful day 2 of our sit at home. With all their tanks, Biafrand rejected them again today. Tomorrow, we will shock the world by rejecting Nigeria finally. pic.twitter.com/UPm9O6ZI1G— Simon Ekpa (@simon_ekpa) February 24, 2023
