Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a group agitating for the Biafra Republic from Nigeria has dared the Federal Government, saying that it will not disband its militant arm, Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The group stated this in a press release by its spokesperson, Mr Emma Powerful, which was made available to journalists on Monday.
Powerful was reacting to claims by security forces that it recently destroyed the camp of IPOB and ESN in forests located in parts of Anambra and other Southeastern states.
IPOB insisted it had no camps in forests in the states mentioned, insisting that it was all government propaganda, just to link any alleged criminal hideouts to IPOB and that such move would be resisted.
He said the existence of ESN has saved the South East from being annexed by rampaging Fulani herdsmen, who have overtaken Benue and Plateau States.

“ESN exists to keep the East safe from the ravages of killer herdsmen now plaguing the entire middle belt and people like them.
“Since the launch of ESN by our Supreme Leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, the main objective of ensuring the safety of farmlands in the East has been accomplished. Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen have had no locus to operate in our farmlands and territory.
“The mischievous mischaracterisation of the activities of ESN that saved the entire South-East and South-South from the murderous onslaught of killer herdsmen now ravaging Benue State and Plateau axis should not be trivialised by attributing any alleged criminal hideout to ESN.
“ESN Operatives have no criminal camps. We know there is a concerted efforts by those seeking the weakening of ESN in other to launch a murderous invasion of the East under the guise of farmer/herder clash.
“Had it not been for ESN Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen would have taken Enugu, Anambra Ebonyi, Imo and Abia States.
“ESN has come to stay with Biafrans and nothing will change the objectives of the outfit,” Powerful stated.
