The Prime Minister of the United States of Biafra, Simon Ekpa, was all smiles in court today when he appeared for trial in Finland.

Ekpa was arrested months back by Finnish authorities, who are accusing him of terrorism, allegations he has denied.

According to the separatist leader, accusations of orchestrating killings in Nigeria all the way from Finland are false because he's just a content creator.

Ekpa said this amid a push by Nigeria to have him extradited to the country to face crimes of enforcing sit-at-home in the Southeast region, which witnessed brutal attacks and killings before his arrest.

Giving an update on Ekpa, his deputy, Ngozi Orabueze shared on X:

"Our PM's case was up for hearing today, June 17th, 202,5 in Finland (Details coming soon)/

"On the request of our USB Representative in Finland, from the presiding Judge on PM's case. Our PM, H.E Simon Ekpa, posed for pictures with some Biafrans at the court today

"The pressure we mount from the outside has led to the relaxation of some restrictions around our PM who has no case to answer except saving his people from the Nigerian terrorist state

"Biafrans be not deceived and be at alert: Nothing, not even one has changed."
