The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has said that pro-Biafran agitator, Simon Ekpa, who was arrested in Finland in November 2024 for terrorism-related offences, is still being prosecuted by the Finnish authorities.

The defence chief, who was a guest on Channels Television on Thursday, August 21, said that since Ekpa’s arrest last November, relative peace has been experienced in the Southeast geopolitical zone of the country.

General Musa said troops have activated operations to apprehend Ekpa’s lieutenants in Imo, Enugu, Anambra, Ebonyi and Abia states – all in the Southeast zone.

“He (Ekpa) is still undergoing prosecution in Finland. So, we are hopeful. When we talked about him, people thought we were making noise, but since he has been arrested, the Southeast is getting better.

We are going to go after the likes of him, wherever they are, and whatever it takes until we bring them down.

That’s why the Ansaru (leaders’ arrest) is a good win for all of us. There are other ones we don’t talk about, we will also look at them and pull them out.”he said

The defence chief described the arrest of Ansaru terrorist commanders as significant, adding that thorough planning by the Nigerian Air Force, the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Navy went into the operation.

General Musa said synergy among the various military formations was responsible for the recent arrest of Ansaru terrorist leaders.

“What has changed is that we have synergy with all the organisations… and that is why we have seen all the successes.”he said
