Finnish authorities have frozen the assets of Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Biafran agitator.
Ekpa, who is facing allegations of terrorism-related activities, has been in detention for several weeks.
The Finnish government has also frozen the assets of companies linked to Ekpa and four of his accomplices, who are also in remand.
A local newspaper, Yle, confirmed the development, further stating that Ekpa is being held in “Kylmäkoski Vankila” (Kylmäkoski Prison), which is known to be one of the world’s toughest prisons.
“Kylmäkoski Prison,” a high-security facility, is located in Vanhamaantie, Akaa, Finland.
It is likely that Ekpa may spend the Christmas and New Year holidays in detention, given the stance taken by Finnish authorities.
