#EbonyiMassacre: Ishielu Youths Opposed The Intervention Of ESN Commandos That Went To Preempt Fulani Herdsmen's Plans While Still Premature – IPOB Says
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, says the recent killing of residents by Fulani killer herdmen, in Ebonyi state, was the aftermath of the unruly behaviour of some youths it described as "foolish".
JournalReporters had reported how Fulani killer herdsmen invaded Egedegede and Obegu communities, in Ishielu LGA of Ebonyi state, killing scores of indigenous residents.
Speaking through Chinasa Nworu, a high ranking IPOB Media Principal Officer, IPOB noted that Commandos of Eastern Security Network, ESN, would have preempted the Fulani's plan when it was still premature, according to the intels at their disposals but the Ishielu youths, who were acting under the influence of the Ebonyi state governor – Dave Umahi, opposed their coming.
He said that the ESN Commandos, in other to avoid unnecessary confrontation with those youths, withdrew their men afterwards.
Chinasa Nworu, who is embittered over the recent massacre of Biafrans in the concerned communities, expressed worry why some clans, youths in Biafra land still defend and align with the governors at the detriment of their survival and well-being.
Chinasa disclosed this in a statement he published on his official Facebook account on Friday.
He said, "Cry no more! for some Biafrans will die even if you lay your life to save them from danger especially against Fulani Herdsmen.
"Do you know last year #ESN tried to dislodge those Fulanis herdsmen in Obegu, in the Ishielu LGA Ebonyi? When Fulanis were hatching the plans to attack those areas, unfortunately some foolish youths in that community being supported by the government of Dave Umahi opposed the presence of the #ESN commandos that went into those communities and to avoid unnecessary confrontation with the community youths #ESN team were asked to withdrew from that community.
"Today you all have seen what happened in Ebonyi even some of those who opposed the presence of #ESN in that community are victims of this attack that took their lives .
"Our people must know who their enemies are . You must know that #ESN is there to protect you from these marauding Fulani killers in our land _@Chinasa Nworu
