IPOB Reveals How Its Security Outfit, ESN, Gets Weapons

•  IPOB not a criminal organisation and has no plan to attack any institution 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it does not engage in criminal activities to generate funds to purchase weapons.

The separatist group said arms used by its Eastern Security Network (ESN) are produced locally.

The proscribed said this in reaction to claims that it was plotting to launch attack 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.

“We, therefore, wish to debunk this falsehood and blatant lie from the pit of hell. IPOB and ESN are not criminals and we have no plans or agenda to touch any institution particularly banks.

‘We are not looking for money to buy arms because we produce our arms locally and cannot attack or kidnap anybody for ransom”

IPOB said it was not possible to subject the people it was fighting for to agony and trauma, adding that the group is disciplined and will never attack any individual or group.

“We don’t inflict pains on the people we are fighting for their freedom. DSS must stop this rubbish and engage their time on something more meaningful. This poor script cannot fly.

“IPOB and ESN are very disciplined groups, and we cannot indulge in armed robbery against any individual or group. ESN has never left its mandate which is to defend Biafra land against Fulani terrorists and killer herdsmen” The group said
