The Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has accused the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of executing two policemen in cold blood.
A statement on Monday by Information Minister, Lai Mohammed
declared that IPOB militant wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN) carried out
the murder.
In a video seen circulating, a number of young men,
communicating in Igbo language, surrounded two decapitated heads.
They joked, mocked the deceased and repeatedly mentioned
that one looked like “Fulani” from the look of his nose.
Mohammed vowed that the culprits behind the “killings, who
videotaped their heinous act and circulated such will be apprehended and
brought to justice”.
He described the abduction of three policemen and the
killing of two of them, “in the most horrific, barbaric and cannibalistic
manner, as an unacceptable attack against the state”.
The minister listed the victims as ASP Francis Idoko (AP No.
154945); Inspector Emmanuel Akubo (AP No. 222336) and Inspector Rufai Adamu
(AP. No. 285009).
“They were abducted by members of the Eastern Security
Network (ESN), acting on the instructions of their leader, Chinonso Okafor, aka
TEMPLE, on 27 November 2021.
”Inspectors Akubo and Adamu were killed, their decapitated
bodies videotaped and circulated widely. The leader of the ESN team that killed
the two officers is one ‘GENTLE’.
“Okafor, the most influential commander of ESN in charge of
Imo and the Anambra States, as well as ‘Gentle’ and all those who perpetrated
the abhorrent act, will be made to face swift and sure justice,” he said.
Mohammed stressed that the targeting and killing of security
agents, under any guise, is a direct attack on Nigeria and will not be tolerated
