IPOB Press Release
30/03/2021
The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has
been drawn to the unfounded allegation by the Nigeria Chief of Naval
Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, that the personnel of the Estern Security
Network, ESN, are responsible for the series of attacks on security agents in
South East and South South in the recent times. We also take exceptions to
insinuations and some biased media reports linking ESN and IPOB with the purported
attacks.
We are however not surprised that the Nigeria Government
will easily point accusing fingers at us. We know their antics. They are only
looking for another justification to launch fresh military operation in the
South East and South South to kill more innocent and unarmed Biafrans.
The Naval Chief who is too weak to mobilise his troops and
confront Boko Haram and Fulani bandits that are daily slaughtering both
security operatives and civilians in the North and different parts of the
country, Kidnapping for ransom and rapping women in farms, is now threatening
to launch military operation against ESN and IPOB.
What offense has ESN committed other than flushing terrorsts
out of our lands? When has resisting terrorsts in the forest translate to
attacking security operatives?
We have severally stated that ESN is not after security
agents but terrorists rampaging our communities. ESN operate in the bushes and
not in the cities. Anyone looking for them should go to the forests.
Neither ESN nor IPOB is involved in the purported attacks
against security agents. This is another fabricated lie by the Nigeria military
to blackmail the security outfit and have another excuse to attack innocent
people.
ESN is not 'unknown gunmen' reported to be responsible for
the said attacks. ESN is identifiable and has a mandate. Its mandate is to
protect the Eastern region against terrorists and the killer herdsmen. Unless
the military is telling us that they are coming to defend the terrorsts
occupying our forests, otherwise ESN has no business with security agencies.
ESN is not a terrorsts group and cannot be treated as such.
The security outfit is a child of necessity born out of the compelling need to
protect our people against terrorists' invasion following the shameful failure
of South East governors to float a regional security outfit. There's no way
IPOB would fold hands and watch terrorsts on evil agenda decimate our
communities while the Government maintained criminal silence. This gave rise to
the setting up of ESN by our proactive Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. No amount of
blackmail can coerce us into disbanding ESN. It has come to stay just like
Amotekun and the Miyetti Allah Security Network.
We therefore want to place the Eastern people on alert over
the evil plot of the Nigeria military to declare another special military
operation in the region using the purported attacks which of course are not
peculiar to the region as an excuse. The hypocrisy of the Fulani-controlled
Nigeria Government has been exposed. They deploy Southern soldiers to the North
to face Boko Haram and Fulani bandits with almost empty hands. In the end they
get ambushed and slaughtered like chicken. The military has never invaded any
Northern community where these Southern soldiers were attacked, yet they are
threatening special military operation in the East over the said attacks on
security agents.
The critical questions are: Who are the said unknown gunmen,
and their sponsors? Who are they working for? Who recruited street urchins to sabotage#EndSARS
protests? Can this be another strategy to create confusion and carry out
another genocide in the Eastern region.
But the so-called Igbo Leaders and the political elite will
never reason this way. They will rather be willing to collude with the enemy to
kill their own people because of political gains.
Why is the Nigeria military not bothered about the
revelation about the existence of 300 Fulani camps with stockpile of AK-47
across South East? Why not take quick action against the Fulani militia waiting
for orders to invade our communities? When shall our people wake from their
stupidity and understand the game of the Fulani caliphate? Any attempt to
invade Eastern region again under any guise will be stoutly resisted!
