The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to, as well as confirming the killing of a unit Commander of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, at the early hours of Saturday, April 24, 2021.
JournalReporters had reported how the Nigerian Army and Police have been attacking a regional security outfit, ESN, floated to stop Fulani killer herdsmen terrorising Eastern region. The Nigerian Military has countlessly engaged the operatives of ESN, in most cases killing innocent civilians.
Speaking through the National Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, in a statement issued on Saturday, IPOB confirmed the killing of one of the ESN Commander, Ikonso by Joint Nigerian Armed Forces.
IPOB explained that Ikonso was ambushed after rejecting a greek offer from the emissaries sent to lobby him on behalf of Imo state governor, Hope Uzodimma to decamp ESN and head Ebube-Agu, floated by the southeast governors.
"We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, strongly condemn the unprovoked attack on some members of IPOB and ESN operatives at Oguta junction at Mgbidi, along Owerri road Onitsha expressway by a joint security force comprising the army, police and DSS operatives, with the support of Imo State Government.
"The killing of the heroic innocent Biafrans protecting our communities and towns from Fulani terrorists herdsmen masquerading as cattle herders in cold blood is very painful.
"The Supreme Court Administrator of Imo State Hope Uzodinma and all those who had a hand in this wickedness will pay dearly. Hope Uzodinma and his cowardly Nigerian security agencies that cannot confront Fulani terrorists but only flex their muscles when they see Biafra agitators.
"For murdering Ikonso, the ESN unit COMMANDER in in cold blood, Uzodima has stirred the hornet nest! He should get ready for a sting.
"Uzodima decided to kill Ikonso because he refused his offer to head Ebubeagu ghost security outfit formed by South East governors. Uzodima has tried but without success to lure ESN operatives into EBUBEAGU.
"He had made irresistible offers to them which were turned down, hence his resorting to elimination of these patriotic heroes who vowed never to betray Biafra.
"Hope Uzodinma sent a lot of emissaries to beg Ikonso and other ESN officers to join EBUBEAGU security outfit. So, because of their refusal to betray Biafra agitation and our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the hopeless governor mobilized joint security forces to attack them today.
"Contrary to claims by the cowardly security forces who flee from terrorists but kill innocent citizens, they were not able to peneterate into the camp of Eastern Security Network, ESN. They only ambushed Ikonso but we promise them hell for this cowardly act!
"Hope Uzodima has murdered sleep, so he should be ready to stay awake! FULANI terrorists pretending as cattle sellers in Enugu destroyed Police van and attacked Government officials on lawful duty with AK-47 but no Army, police or DSS attacked them till now.
"But ESN operatives defending our communities against the terrorists are being hunted like games everyday. The world has kept quiet over this atrocity until we begin our own madness.
"Hope Uzodinma as the body of Ikonso was paraded by Fulani Jihadists in police and Nigerian army, so shall it be your portion one day."
