He urged the Nigerian government to take decisive action, including exploring diplomatic options to curb the menace of the pro-Biafra agitator.
Musa said, “We have repeatedly complained about the issue of Simon Ekpa. He is in Finland and the Finnish Government is giving him all the support and he is doing what he is doing.”
“The comments he is making, people are being killed and nothing is being done,” he noted. “This is democracy. If the European Union is supporting democracy and this is happening and they are not taking action, then they don’t mean well for Nigeria
“We have said that in clear terms. We need to diplomatically find means of getting him out of whatever it is that he is doing. He must be arrested, he must be prosecuted.
