In a ruling delivered on Monday,September 1,2025,the court found Ekpa guilty of inciting terrorism and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
According to Yle, a Finnish newspaper, the court said Ekpa had used his “significant social media following” to stoke tensions in Nigeria’s south-east region between August 2021 and November 2024.
In a unanimous ruling, the three-member panel of judges also stated that Ekpa was an influential member of a militant separatist movement whose goal was to actualise the carving out of a Biafra state from Nigeria.
