The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday, accused
the Nigerian security forces of lying against its members.
IPOB said contrary to claims by security agencies, that
Eastern Security Network, ESN, is not a militant group and are not cannibals.
A statement by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, reiterated
that the group has no camps in Lilu, Orsumoghu in Anambra State and Mbaise,
Obowo in Imo State.
Powerful in a statement said, “The global movement and
family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and
leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to once again, debunk the
falsehood and propaganda by the Nigeria army and police against innocent
Biafran youths especially Eastern Security Network ESN operatives.
“The Nigeria Army Commander, as well as the Police
Commissioner in Imo State, derive pleasure in dishing out fake information and
falsehood to disrepute IPOB and ESN operatives.
“We, therefore, want to once again, declare that contrary to
fabricated lies by the security agencies, ESN has no camp in Lilu, Orsumoghu in
Anambra State and Mbaise, Obowo in Imo State. The claims by the Nigerian
security agencies that they discovered IPOB/ESN camps in the affected
communities are all lies concocted to blackmail us and justify further
destruction of more Igbo communities by security agents.
“IPOB and ESN have no camps in these communities. We are not
militants nor cannibals. Criminals can never be said to be IPOB/ESN members. We
are not cultists. Our mission is the restoration of Biafra, and that has
nothing to do with cannibalism and abominable things allegedly going on in such
camps.
“Nigerian security agencies and government of Imo State
created these criminals thinking they can demonize IPOB and ESN members but
unfortunately they turned against innocent members of the society.”
