Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on Sunday gave a strong warning to South-East Governors, Traditional Rulers and Presidents-General of town unions against the attempt to attack Eastern Security Network, ESN personnel in their various localities.

Kanu, who stated this in a statement signed by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful on Sunday, claimed that traditional rulers and some politicians are mobilizing local vigilantes to attack IPOB newly established security outfit in their various localities.

Part of the statement reads:
“All local vigilantes in every state of South East who have been contacted by the masterminds of this evil agenda through the traditional rulers and Presidents-General of any community or town in Biafraland to attack ESN operatives should have a rethink as embarking on such unholy mission is suicidal.”

“Anyone, vigilante group, community, traditional ruler or President-General, political elite or anybody under any guise who connives with the enemy to expose or attack ESN in their locality will live in eternal regret of such satanic mission. It’s not a threat but a promise.”

“Instead of mobilising to stop those on a mission to takeover their ancestral lands, these people without any modicum of shame are busy conniving with the enemies of Biafra to sabotage ESN – their only defense line and last hope of survival.”

“We want to make it clear that leaders of any community in Biafraland where any ESN personnel is attacked will pay dearly for such attack. In the same way, the governor of any state where the security outfit is attacked shall also be held responsible. Any traditional ruler, President-General or vigilante group who collaborates with the Nigerian Military to attack ESN operatives should be prepared to bear the bitter consequences of his treachery.”


“ESN is not a Biafran Army but a mere vigilante group set up to defend the people of the Old Eastern region against terrorists and criminals responsible for the growing insecurity in the region.”

“ESN is not after law-abiding citizens but criminals. Members of the outfit have not molested any law-abiding citizens but have remained in the forests to rid our land of terrorists and ensure our farms are safe again for our people to resume farming activities. They have done nothing to warrant any attack more so when the real terrorists and bandits are still killing and maiming innocent locals daily unchallenged by the highly compromised security agencies.”

Kanu also advised the Nigerian security agencies to stop dissipating energy towards stopping ESN but rather channel it against Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits and other terrorists rampaging the North.

“They should be concerned about rescuing the North from the enclave of terrorists instead of wasting resources to hunt down ESN personnel securing Biafraland against terrorists.”

“We specifically warn Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State not to sacrifice Biafran freedom on the altar of his imaginary presidential ambition,” he added.

The statement concludes, “The game plan is to orchestrate crisis between the vigilante groups and Eastern Security Network(ESN) to pave way for Nigerian security agencies to attack ESN personnel.”
