The document being [circulated online](https://mandynews.com/false-images-of-turkey-earthquake-circulating-online/) states that Simon Ekpa has 48 hours to comply with the government’s order, or he will be arrested. It is also unlikely that the Finnish government would release an [official statement](https://mandynews.com/inecs-official-statement-on-postponement-of-2019-elections-transcript/) without proper use of language, especially when addressing one of its citizens. Additionally, as Simon is a Finnish citizen, the government would likely address any official communication to him in Finnish, and it would be well-written. This type of manipulation is not new, and it is often used to create fake news and disinformation campaigns. The language used in the statement has confirmed its fake, as it does not conform to standard diplomatic protocols. Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed spokesperson for the supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who resides in Finland, has been issuing threats for some time now. It may not be accurate to describe Mr. Governments typically communicate in a diplomatic and professional manner, using respectful language even when they are expressing criticism or disagreement.
