PRESS RELEASE,
28/04/2024.
The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu is not surprised with the sustained cruel media blackmail against IPOB and ESN by the Nigeria Military. The sustained campaign to demonize IPOB before Ndigbo is one of the silliest propaganda from the Nigeria government because you can't tell the people to reject themselves.
WE ALL ARE IPOB!
The Nigerian government and her murderous security agencies recruited Simon Ekpa to infiltrate IPOB but failed woefully. The Nigerian government and her Security Forces, in collaboration with Hope Uzodinma for almost three years aided Simon Ekpa, recruited criminals who erected camps throughout Imo State and parts of neighboring provences. IPOB succeeded in pushing the double agents led by Simon Ekpa to a corner and exposed them for using IPOB and ESN's names in their nefarious activities. They branded themselves the Biafra Liberation Army.
The agenda was to use them to commit crimes and pin their crimes on IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. That is exactly what the Nigeria government with her murderous military is still trying to do.
The question is, where were the Nigeria Security Forces for almost three years while the infiltrators operated freely?
IPOB has been shouting that Simon Ekpa's gangs are the ones responsible for the insecurity in the Southeast?
Ekpa's criminal gangs were on social media attacking and threatening IPOB DOS for condemning their criminalities while they were praising Ekpa as their leader, their crime minister. How come their activities and camps are now being labeled as belonging to IPOB and ESN still?
If not explained, we assure you that there was an agenda they were recruited to fulfill by the Nigeriagovernment?
IPOB calls on the compromised Joint Task Force Operation named "UDOKA" to stop showcasing the irrelevant flyers condemning ESN and IPOB. Their irresponsible blackmail of IPOB/ESN is helping to clean the insecurity mess they created in the southeast. Ndigbo are intelligent! Just like the Nigeria military pinned the "Mother Valley headquarters camp" controlled by Simon Ekpa's general Commander called Butuzor on IPOB/ESN.
They also pinned the recently raided camp in Awo-Omamma and Njaba on the criminal called B44 who is not IPOB member and the one controlled by one Oluchi Ogu who is also another of Simon Ekpa's boys but answering IPOB and ESN. The names of these criminals called Butuzor alias Temple and Oluchi Ogu have been mentioned in several of our press releases and Radio Biafra broadcasts by DOS members as criminals working with Simon Ekprima's group known as Autopilot/Government in Exile. They are not IPOB members or ESN Operatives. They call themselves Liberation Army, alias Autopilot, or government in exile which have camps scattered around Imo State and other places in Biafraland because Governor, Hope Uzodinma, was mandated to provide a safe zone for the infiltrators to blackmail IPOB and ESN. This is why the Nigerian Army keeps raiding their agent's camps in Imo State and not other States. They know where those camps are because they set them up.
The Commander of the Joint Task Force Operation "UDO KA", Maj Gen HT DADA should go back to his terrorist ravaged Northern Nigeria and restore peace there for his people. Southeast does not have terrorists but State sponsored criminals of Simon Ekpa who were recruited to blackmail IPOB. Now that he knows that IPOB is not easy to destroy and that he can not find the evidence to be used against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the law court, it is simply time for him to leave Igboland.
We are making some of these revelations public for Biafrans to understand that the Nigerian government and their compromised Security Forces are telling them to reject IPOB and ESN because they are the ones responsible for the insecurity in our land NOT IPOB. They can blackmail IPOB as much as they want, but they know the truth that they created the monsters they are claiming to be fighting.
The mischievous attitude of Nigeria Joint Security Forces is part of their divide and conquer tactics. Biafrans are not stupid to fail to understand who their enemy is and who their defenders are. Biafrans can not reject their last line of defense, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), because the terrorist army of Nigeria told them to reject themselves.
All media blackmail against IPOB and ESN is dead on arrival because we are immune to blackmail and intimidation. ESN operatives are focused, brave, and disciplined security personnel. They are not after the Nigeria Security Forces nor civilians but are against the Fulani jihadist herdsmen. However, they can't allow our enemies to dislodge them without consequences. The Nigerian military knows that they can't invade the ESN camps without casualties on their side.
Any Biafran that joined hands with our enemies in the car snatchings, kidnappings, killings, and burying other Biafrans unceremoniously just to blackmail IPOB and to help the Nigeria government to gather false evidence against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is cursed with his or her generation after him or her. Such traitors shall pay with their lives. IPOB are the people, and the people are IPOB, we can't reject ourselves because our enemies said so.
We condemn them for the dead and corpses that they exhumed in those camps because it is not in the Igbo culture to murder someone and bury him or her unceremoniously. This act is "Aru" in our culture. ESN Operatives can't do this kind of thing to our people irrespective of the circumstances.Aru laa na ala Igbo.
COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL, MEDIA, AND PUBLICITY SECTARY FOR IPOB
