AGF Fagbemi Explains Why Nigeria Seeks Extradition of Simon Ekpa

The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has revealed the reasons behind the Federal Government’s move to extradite Simon Ekpa, a key associate of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Government’s Stance on Ekpa’s Extradition

Fagbemi emphasized that Ekpa’s activities abroad have been destabilizing Nigeria’s southeast region, prompting the government to take legal action. The AGF stated that bringing Ekpa back to Nigeria is crucial for maintaining peace and security in the affected areas.

Legal Process Underway

The Justice Minister confirmed that all necessary legal procedures are being followed to ensure Ekpa faces charges in Nigeria. This development comes amid growing concerns about separatist activities in the region.
