The arrest and detention of armed militant leader Simon Ekpa in Finland have sparked widespread unease among Nigerians residing in the European country.

This newspaper gathered that many Nigerians in Finland are reluctant to comment on the situation due to fears of reprisals from Ekpa’s followers. A Nigerian community leader, speaking anonymously, revealed that the Igbo community in Finland has been deeply affected by the violent reputation associated with IPOB.

Reports indicate that certain individuals have been accused of tipping off authorities about Ekpa’s activities and are now facing threats. “One person they accused is already being targeted. This happened even before Ekpa was remanded. Imagine what could happen if he is imprisoned. These followers are extremely dangerous,” the source added.
