Finland-based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, has appointed a new legal representative ahead of his June 2025 trial in Finland.

The new legal representative was identified as Kaarle Gummerus.

According to BBC Pidgin, the embattled Biafra agitator recently changed his legal counsel due to the retirement of his former lawyer.

His new legal representative, Kaarle Gummerus, confirmed that he had received the pre-trial file and is ?currently checking through? the case materials.

Ekpa, who holds dual citizenship of Nigeria and Finland, was arrested in November 2024 by Finnish law enforcement agents. He was later remanded in prison by the district court of P?ij?t-H?me on allegations of spreading terrorist propaganda via social media.

Authorities in Finland alleged that Ekpa committed the offences in 2021, while residing in the Lahti municipality. He is accused of using his social media platforms to incite violence and instigate terror in southeastern Nigeria.
