IPOB, ESN NOT INVOLVED IN ANY KILLING OF HAUSAS IN IMO – IPOB
The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra , IPOB has been drawn to a fabricated and fallacious publication by some compromised media outfits(not IgbereTv) that IPOB and operatives of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, were behind the killing of Hausa Suya sellers in Orlu over the weekend. We know nothing about the purported killings.
The said publication is a total falsehood. We are disappointed in any media outfit that published such an unverified story. Why will a reputable media organisation run to town with news as serious as that without getting the facts? We challenge the publishers of such lie to show proof that it was IPOB or ESN that carried out the killings or get ready for the reward of their blackmail.
IPOB and ESN have no issues with Hausa as a tribe that could warrant the killing of Suya sellers who are mere individuals struggling to earn a living. We know those destroying our farms with their cows, kidnapping, raping, and killing our people in our forests. We know where to locate them.
ESN is a security outfit set up to defend Biafra land against terrorists and bandits in our forests. Killing of Suya sellers is ridiculous and certainly not part of its mandate. Linking ESN or IPOB, a peaceful movement seeking the restoration of Biafra with such a barbaric act is both malicious and wicked.
We have severally warned people against linking us with unknown gunmen now on the prowl in parts of South East and South South. We have in the past raised alarm that terrorsts have infiltrated Southern Nigeria and would be commiting various atrocities to cause confusion. But nobody took the warnings seriously only for them to turn around now and accuse us.
If truly that the unknown gunmen in Sienna car are IPOB or ESN operatives according to the malicious publication, why did the hundreds of military and police check points mostly manned by Hausa Fulani Army and police fail to arrest them on the way?
The same unknown gunmen have been burning down police stations and killing security agents and you blame it on ESN and IPOB. Stupidity and ignorance will not allow the zoo people to reason properly. You will keep appointing accusing fingers at IPOB and ESN until terrorsts take over the entire country.
We have earlier alerted the public about orchastrated plan by the Janjaweed to increase terrorst attacks in the South East using unknown gunmen so that the government will have an excuse to declare another special military operation in the zone and kill more innocent Biafrans. We know that the Efulefus among the so-called Igbo Leaders will never see any sense in this factual information and they will be blaming IPOB until it’s too late.
For the umpteenth time, IPOB and ESN had no hands in the said Orlu killings. We are not unknown gunmen’. The security agencies should try and arrest them to unmask their identify. But we know that Nigeria security agents can never be trusted as they will begin to arrest innocent Igbo youths and force them to wear any uniform and label them IPOB or ESN operatives. The Nigeria security agencies which are too weak to confront Boko Haram terrorsts and Fulani bandits are always brave when dealing with Biafrans. We know their antics but God will vindicate us someday!
