FINLAND VS SIMON EKPA
Today, I arrived home safely after the conclusion of the Simon Ekpa case in Finland. European democracy is strange because if I had been in Nigeria I would have been thrown in River Niger for opposing the President but in Finland we told @alexstubb on his soil .I hope he has now seen the truth about Nigeria 🇳🇬.
I also thank some of Opposition Members of Finnish Parliament whom we share 4 hrs over coffee and a lot of information regarding Nigeria .
My public statements speak volumes, and I want to sincerely thank the Defence Lawyer Tommi for the cooperation we had throughout this case.
My tactical headquarters in Helsinki also played an important role in supporting the work.However, it is too early to CELEBRATE
We still have to hear the verdict, which is expected next month,September 2026.
Whatever verdict comes, I now have a HUGE TASK ahead of me:
“to move to the European Court of Human Rights as an interested party in the case, where possible under the applicable procedures, to pursue the issues surrounding Simon Ekpa’s case and to protect his name and reputation worldwide.”
The job is huge.
It is not over until it is over between me and Finland.Whatever comes, I will continue to stand firmly on the principles of the European Convention on Human Rights.
EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS , KEY ARTICLES WERE VIOLATED
ARTICLE 5 — RIGHT TO LIBERTY AND SECURITY
No arbitrary detention. A person deprived of liberty must have a lawful basis, and detention must be subject to judicial review.
ARTICLE 6 — RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL
Independent and impartial tribunal; fair hearing; presumption of innocence; adequate defence rights; right to examine evidence and witnesses.
ARTICLE 7 — NO PUNISHMENT WITHOUT LAW
No one can be convicted for an act that was not a criminal offence when it was committed.
ARTICLE 8 — RIGHT TO PRIVATE AND FAMILY LIFE
Protection of private life, family life, home and correspondence. Interference must have a lawful and necessary justification.
ARTICLE 10 — FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
Protects the right to hold opinions and to receive and communicate information and ideas. Restrictions must be prescribed by law and necessary in a democratic society.
ARTICLE 11 — FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION
Protects peaceful assembly and association. Restrictions must be lawful and necessary in a democratic society.
ARTICLE 13 — RIGHT TO AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY
A person whose Convention rights have been violated must have an effective remedy before a national authority.
ARTICLE 14 — PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION
Convention rights must be secured without discrimination, including on grounds such as political or other opinion.
ARTICLE 15 — DEROGATION IN TIME OF EMERGENCY
Even during a public emergency, derogation from Convention rights is subject to strict conditions. Certain rights cannot be derogated from.
ARTICLE 17 — PROHIBITION OF ABUSE OF RIGHTS
The Convention cannot be used to justify destroying or excessively limiting the rights and freedoms it protects.
ARTICLE 18 — LIMITATION ON USE OF RESTRICTIONS
Restrictions on Convention rights must not be applied for a purpose other than the purpose for which they were prescribed.
FOR A “RED-FLAG” / SECURITY CASE
The most important combination is:
ARTICLE 5 — Liberty
ARTICLE 6 — Fair Trial
ARTICLE 7 — No Punishment Without Law
ARTICLE 8 — Private Life
ARTICLE 10 — Freedom of Expression
ARTICLE 11 — Assembly & Association
ARTICLE 13 — Effective Remedy
ARTICLE 14 — Non-Discrimination
ARTICLE 18 — Misuse of Restrictions
These are the principles that I will continue to examine as the legal process moves forward.
The fight for justice does not end with one verdict.
The job continues.

🇳🇬 NIGERIA’S ABSENCE AT SIMON EKPA’S FINLAND COURT PROCEEDINGS — QUESTIONS RAISED
The ongoing court case involving Simon Ekpa in Finland has raised fresh questions about Nigeria’s representation and interest in the proceedings.
Nigeria’s Interior Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Bianca Ojukwu were expected to be involved in representing Nigeria’s position regarding the case. However, according to reports, neither of them appeared in court, and no Nigerian government representative was reportedly present.
Why was Nigeria absent? Was there a change in plans, or is there more to the story?
In this video, we examine what reportedly happened in Finland, the questions surrounding Nigeria’s representation, and what this could mean for the Simon Ekpa case.
👉 Watch to the end, share your thoughts, and let us know: Should Nigeria have been represented in court?

Prime Minister Simon Ekpa, Adadioramma, said you should not appeal; you should go to jail. If she were in your position, she wouldn’t appeal either.

Either it's going to become multiplanetary, or it's going to be confined to one planet, until some eventual extinction event."
