The Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), of hatching a secret plot in collaboration with security agencies, to disarm vigilantes in the South-East, so as to have a free reign to cause mayhem in the region, IgbereTV reports.
In a statement on Sunday by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the Igbo separatist group claimed it discovered that MACBAN held a secret meeting with some heads of security agencies to perfect the plot of disarming vigilantes in the region including its militia wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The statement further alleged that the aim of the meeting was to weaken the South-East and pave the way for “Fulani bandits’ invasion of the region to destabilise the people for easy access by Fulani pastoralists to continue their onslaught in the region
