IPOB denies attacks on police, other security operatives

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, announced over the weekend that its Eastern Security Network, ESN, has not attacked the military, police, or any other security personnel since its establishment. IPOB dismissed recent claims to the contrary as baseless propaganda.

IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful responded to allegations by the Enugu State Police, who reported that ESN operatives attacked their team at Four Corner in Enugu State on August 18, 2024. Powerful labeled these allegations as false and described them as a fabrication.

“It is unfortunate that the Nigeria Police and their military have sustained their lies and propaganda against ESN Operatives to divert attention and justify the Nigerian State-sponsored crimes in Biafraland but ESN are too disciplined to be distracted by the media propaganda of the Nigeria government, and its security agencies.

“The Nigerian government and her murderous security agencies are very much aware of who the criminal perpetrators are because they always arrange these premeditated crimes just so they can blackmail IPOB and ESN. According to the Nigerian Police, the attackers wore military fatigue. The question that reasonable people should ask the Nigerian Police is, since when has the ESN begun to wear military uniforms?

“Worthy of note is the fact that neither the Nigerian Police nor the assailants suffered any casualties in this staged attack. IPOB is not perturbed by the Nigerian Police claims because the Nigerian Police know who the assailants were since they recruited them. Just for the avoidance of doubt, ESN Operatives never and will never wear military uniforms.

“Since, the formation of ESN, IPOB has consistently maintained that Biafra does not have an army yet. ESN Operatives have never claimed or paraded themselves as an army.”
