I Never Claimed The Whole Of Benue, ESN Is Only In Igbo Communities Carved Into Benue State – Nnamdi Kanu Tells Gov Ortom
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has beckoned on the Benue state governor, Ortom Samuel to ensure that Igbo residents in his state of affair are protected from any further attacks by the Fulani bandits.
Kanu's message to Ortom sequels the intervention of ESN officials in protecting Igbo residents in some parts of Benue as well as capturing Fulani bandits'leader, Issa Mohammed terrorising Igbos in Benue.
He noted that ESN personnels are already on ground in Benue state to ensure that Igbo communities, whom he describes as the Children of Elohim, are not subjected to any further attack
Kanu warned that he will, however, order ESN out of the bushes to confront anybody oppressing or attacking Igbos should the state governor failed to do so.
Reacting to the allegation by few individuals who hold the view that ESN presence in Benue soil is an indication Kanu wants to claim Benue, the IPOB Leader made it clear that ESN is only on ground in Igbo parts carved into Benue, that he's not in anyway claiming the whole of Benue.
He vowed that it doesn't matter how people twist the truth, or try to turn lies into truth, no inch of Biafra territory will be surrendered to anybody.

He said, "Should our people be subjected to further attack, I am informing the governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom, I will make sure that ESN returns to that very area or should I say come out of the bushes to confront whoever comes against the children of the Most High God, Chukwu Okike, Elohim in heaven. This is a warning to all of you.
Continuing he stated, "For those of you that specialize in twisting the obvious, in turning truth into lies, I never claimed the whole of Benue state. You people carved Igbo people into Benue state which is unacceptable.
"We're in an era, not that of the old and compromised "Ohaneze Ndi Ara", no, not in that era anymore. We're not in the era of compromised governors in the pocket of the Fulani caliphate, No.
"We're now in the era of IPOB and no inch of territory belonging to traditional, or ethnicities making up Biafra will be surrendered to anybody, no. And in Benue state we have stopped them.
"While they're busy ranting that ' don't come in Benue' we are already there and we're not in Benue state that doesn't belong to us.
"We're in Igbo parts of Benue state, Igbo communities of Benue state and we're there to defend them. That's precisely what we're going to do and nobody is going to discourage us otherwise
"We're making it clear today that the ESN is on the ground in Benue state and in every part of Biafra land for that matter.
"We're in Cross River, we're in Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, everywhere it is happening. Anywhere we confront this Fulani terrorist, we'll drive them away
"Be rest assured, we're not going to rest one iota untill our farmlands, our homes our forests are secured. What's happening in Yoruba land cannot happen in Biafra land.
"Nobody, no idiot can come from anywhere to claim any inch or parcel of Biafran territory, it is not doable, instead we all die there.
