Femi Fani-Kayode Commends Arrest of Simon Ekpa in Finland on Terror-Related Charges
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has shared his views on the recent arrest of Simon Ekpa by Finnish authorities over allegations of terrorism and incitement to violence in Nigeria. The detention of Ekpa, who has been accused of masterminding unrest in the country from his base in Finland, has sparked widespread reactions.
Describing Ekpa’s actions as deplorable, Fani-Kayode expressed relief at his apprehension, calling it a step toward justice. “The arrest and detention of Simon Ekpa for terrorism-related charges and inciting violence in Nigeria is good news. He is not only a misguided young man but also a hate-filled sociopath, a notorious coward, and an enemy of humanity,” Fani-Kayode stated.
He further accused Ekpa of exploiting his platform to instigate violence and division in Nigeria, resulting in the loss of countless innocent lives. “Many Nigerians were killed on his orders due to his inflammatory and divisive rhetoric,” he noted, highlighting the human cost of Ekpa’s actions.
Fani-Kayode expressed hope that this development would serve as a deterrent to others who use violence and terror as tools to pursue their agendas. “This should be a lesson to those who believe division and terror are the only way forward and who disregard the sanctity of human life,” he added.
The arrest underscores the importance of international cooperation in tackling global threats and holding individuals accountable for inciting violence, regardless of where they are based. As Nigerians await further developments in the case, Fani-Kayode’s remarks resonate as a call for unity, peace, and respect for the rule of law.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of hate speech and extremism and reinforces the need for collective efforts to build a safer and more harmonious society.
