The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared that no members of its security outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) was arrested by security agents. The denial is coming after security agents announced the arrest of some criminals and cultists involved in the recent killings in Anambra and Imo States. According to IPOB, none of its members was involved in criminality and other related cult activities. Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, who disclosed this in a press release made available to newsmen, announced that IPOB had uncovered the unscrupulous elements acting under the auspices of ESN.
“Our attention has been drawn to media reports about a camp of criminals and cultists busted by security agents in Orsumoghu, Anambra State and Orsuihiteukwu in Orlu, Imo State. “These cultists arrested in these camps are certainly the monsters created by the Supreme Court Administrator in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma to demonise our gallant ESN operatives. “These vampires have been impersonating ESN operatives and terrorising many communities in Biafran land. “The Imo State Supreme Court Administrator Hope Uzodinma and APC created these vampires thinking they can demonise ESN and IPOB, but unfortunately, the monsters turned against the innocent people of Biafra. “Nemesis has caught up with them.
The same way their sponsors will soon meet their Waterloo and Biafra land will be rid of them! “Those arrested by joint security forces are not ESN members. They are Hope Uzodinma’s boys who he created to demonise IPOB and ESN operatives. “For record purposes, ESN does not indulge in criminality or writing letters to people or make calls to people requesting funds. IPOB and ESN have no dealings with the criminal activities of these criminals as they are also on the ESN watch list. “But the security agencies must investigate thoroughly and free the innocent people who were victims of their invasion and arrest. “The IPOB leadership wishes to draw the attention of the good people of Biafra, especially in the affected communities in Anambra and Imo States that through intelligence, we have uncovered some impostors using the ESN to unleash mayhem on our people. “Some of them include Emmanuel, aka Obereagu, Innocent Obiekee from Isingwu Orsumoghu, Izuchukwu from Amaduru Orsumoghu and Ofordie, aka Baby. These criminals have committed a lot of crimes in these communities and indulged in kidnapping, car snatching, and cannibalism as well as raping of women. “We declare these hooligans wanted so that they will answer for their crimes. Anywhere these vampires recruited by our enemies to demonise us are seen, they should be captured alive or dead.
“These criminals are the ones masterminding the kidnappings for ransom, killings, and extortion from the innocent villagers in the name of ESN, while they are not. We assure the communities in the affected areas that IPOB will ensure these criminals and bandits don’t operate for too long,” IPOB stated not indulge in criminality or writing letters to people or make calls to people requesting for funds.
