\u201cSending suicide bombers to Finland to attack Simon Ekpa is their last option and they just departed from Abuja airport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just to inform them that we are monitoring them even from the time they dropped them at the Abuja airport, to their next destination.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for you suicide bomber at the port of entry. Their Finland contact knows already he is in the pot of soup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remain committed to Biafra Independence, this is your 5th attempt, you are now sending terrorists to Europe.<\/p>\n
