DSS Planning To Attack Banks In South East, IPOB Raises Alarm

We would resist attempts by criminals to attack institutions and put the blame on them – IPOB 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that department of state security (DSS) is plotting to attack financial institutions in the south east.

The proscribed separatist group said this in reaction to report that IPOB was planning to launch attacks on banks to acquire money for arms.

In a statement by Emma Powerful, its media and publicity secretary, IPOB described reports of its planned attack on financial institutions as “fabricated propaganda”.

“Our intelligence unit has uncovered a fabricated propaganda by the Department of State Services DSS, that Eastern Security Network, ESN is planning to attack banks in Biafraland to acquire money to purchase arms,” he said.

According to Powerful, department of state security (DSS) was behind the propaganda which is aimed at tarnishing the image of ESN and IPOB.

“DSS is propelling this wicked propaganda all in a bid to blackmail ESN and IPOB, and dent our global reputation.

It called on banks in the south east to be at alert as DSS could be planning to attack them and then turn around to blame IPOB, adding that DSS, in it’s desperation to blackmail it, have been carrying out such attacks in other places.

“All banks in Biafraland must be wary of DSS because it is possible they are planning to sponsor attacks on banks and turn around as usual to blame it on IPOB and ESN operatives.

‘The double-faced Nigerian security agencies have been staging this kind of attacks in so many places and later point accusing fingers at IPOB and ESN.

“They have tried to blame the attacks on security formations in South’East on us but now it is obvious that we are innocent of that, they have quickly changed tact in their desperation to blackmail us and find cheap excuse to declare another special military operation in the zone. Our people should be smart and not buy into their tricks.”

Powerful added that IPOB would resist attempts by criminals to attack institutions and put the blame on them.
