The trial of Simon Ekpa, a Nigerian separatist leader living in Finland, has officially begun in a Finnish court.
Ekpa is facing charges related to publicly encouraging crimes with terrorist intent charges linked to his activism with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
At the first hearing, the court outlined the case against him, while his lawyers argued that he is simply exercising his right to free speech and peaceful protest.

This case has attracted attention beyond Finland, raising questions about how countries handle separatist movements and where the line is drawn between activism and terrorism.
The trial is ongoing, with more hearings planned to look closely at the evidence and arguments from both sides.
Whatever the outcome, this case is shaping how Nigerian activists abroad might be treated in the future.
