EKO HOT BLOG reports that IPOB has said it has nothing to do with kidnappings.
This was disclosed after the claim by Katsina Police Command of arresting a member of its arm militia Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Katsina.
According to the Katsina state police on Tuesday, a man identified as David Eric Uchenna, 19, aka Ibrahim Muhammed, was arrested at Kofar Sauri Quarters in the Katsina metropolis.
The suspect was arrested following a tip-off from some allies he confided in.
IPOB denied having a connection with the said person, adding that the claim by the Police Command was laughable and not expected of the police institution.
According to a statement by IPOB Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the organisation said it has never engaged in the business of kidnapping.
He added that such a claim made by the police was outside their mandate.
He said IPOB has the mandate to protect land and forests as well as Biafran farmers from terror herdsmen invasion and will never be involved in the kidnapping.
