Finnish appeals court convicts Nigerian separatist Simon Ekpa of terrorism, reduces sentence

Finland's Court of Appeal convicted Simon Ekpa, a Nigerian-born separatist leader, of terrorism offenses, but mitigated his sentence compared to the lower court. The ruling follows his arrest in Finland for inciting violence in Nigeria's southeast. The reduced sentence signals a partial legal victory for Ekpa, though the conviction itself is a significant judicial action against foreign-backed separatist agitation.
