The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rebuffed allegations that its security arm, Eastern Security Network (ESN) is behind violent attacks on police and military checkpoints in the South East saying the allegation is a plot to launch military operation in the area.
The group particularly denied allegation by the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, that the personnel of ESN are responsible for the series of attacks on security agents in South East and South South in the recent times.
The group in a press statement signed by its media and publicity Secretary Emma Powerful said it is not surprised that “the Nigeria Government will easily point accusing fingers at it because that is their usual antics to justify fresh military operation in the South East and South South to kill more innocent and unarmed Biafrans”.
