Aisha Yesufu, a Nigerian activist, has fumed over the
reported chasing out of Fulani herdsmen and killing of dozens of cows by the
Nnamdi Kanu’s Eastern Security Network, ESN.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, shared the news of the security outfit’s invasion of the camp of the
herdsmen in Isiukwuato, Abia State.
In a video shared by the IPOB leader, the ESN operatives
were seen burning houses and cows allegedly belonging to the Fulani herdsmen.
“Video of men at work last night across all the towns and
villages of the old Bende Division, especially Isiukwuato,” Kanu captioned the
video shared on his Facebook page.
“ESN has commenced the combing of parts of Isiukwuato
forests last night and engagement with the enemy is ongoing and will continue
until they no longer present a threat to our communities along that axis…” he
added, issuing a direct warning to the herders.
And in reaction to this, the Bring Back Our Girls
campaigner, described the situation as highly unacceptable, warning that no one
has a monopoly of violence.
“This is absolutely not acceptable. We cannot have security
outfits taking laws into their hands & maiming, killing & destroying
properties. This is not acceptable.
“We must always remember no one has a monopoly of violence
and intolerance and we can all be mad.
Let the law guide us!” She tweeted.
Kanu had launched the ESN in December 2020, explaining that
the security network was meant to protect the Southeast from marauding herdsmen
and other criminal elements.
He said the security outfit was exactly the same as
Amotekun, the Southwest security outfit.
