A Biafra agitator, Raphael Ajaere, has condemned the sentence of Simon Ekpa, prime minister of the Biafra Government in Exile by Finnish authorities.

Ajaere made his criticism known in a statement on his X account on Monday.

His comment comes as Nigerian Newssphere reports that a Finnish court on Monday handed Ekpa a six-year imprisonment jail term over terrorism-related offences.

However, Ajaere’s sentence has proved how compromised Finland and the entire West are.

He said that Ekpa would come out stronger.

“Now we know it’s 6 years. Finland Has Proved How Crooked The Entire West Is. PM is strong.And Determined, NEVER To Give Up. And so also does BRGIE & Pst Vam Vam Vam. “We Move Regardless,” he wrote on his X account.

Recall that upon Ekpa’s conviction, the Nigerian government, in a statement by the Minister of Information Mohammed Idris, described the sentence as a victory for the country.

Also, the Indigenous People Of Biafra, in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the “Nigerian state is orchestrating this smear campaign as a diversionary tactic, timed precisely to contaminate the upcoming ruling on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s no-case submission.”

The prime of the Prime of Biafra Government in Exile and Biafra freedom fighter has been handed a six-year sentence over claims of terrorism in Nigeria.

Mazi Ekpa, who was arrested on 21st November last year, has been in Finnish court during this period.

PM Ekpa was remanded in custody by the Päijät-Häme District Court despite calls for his release by Biafrans.

However, Finland recently sentenced him for “public incitement to commit a crime with terrorist intent”, an alleged offence dating from August 2021 to November 2024.

Leaders of Biafra are yet to react to Ekpa’s sentence as of filing this report.

Meanwhile, a source close to PM Ekpa who preferred anonymity told Nigerian Newssphere that the sentence will not deter Biafra liberation.

According to him, PM Ekpa will come out stronger.

“PM EKPA will come out stronger. Enemies of Biafra will be put to shame.”

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has blamed his new player, Eberechi Eze following their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Gunners were beaten 1-0 by the Reds, with Dominik Szoboszlai firing in from over 30 yards to earn the defending champions all three points.

 

Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Arteta was angry with Eze for not taking a golden opportunity he had to equalise for his team.

 

Eze joined the Gunners from Premier League rivals, Crystal Palace in a deal around £67.5m.

 

He was introduced in the second half of the game against Liverpool which was his debut for Arsenal.

 

The England international came on to replace Gabriel Martinelli on 70 minutes.

 

He had an opportunity to score almost immediately and Arteta saw the miss as one of the high points of the game.

 

Arteta said, “You have to put the ball in the back of the net.

 

“Today we have three, four, five situations inside the box one-vs-one.

 

“Eze is completely through just to finish the action. You have to put the ball in the net if you want to win.”

 

The defeat was Arsenal’s first of the new season with the Gunners having won their last two games.

 

Liverpool, meanwhile, maintain a hundred percent start to the season and stay top of the Premier League table with all nine points secured from three games.
