Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, on Saturday, declared that the Eastern Security Network was a nightmare
to the Federal Government.
Kanu made the remark while accusing the Department of State
Services, DSS, of creating the Igbo Elders for Peace and Development, IEPD, to
downplay the Eastern Security Network, ESN.
Recall that Kanu had recently launched the ESN to curb
insecurity in the Southeast.
But, IEPD dismissed the network which it described as
illegal and non-existence.
Reacting, Kanu said the group was non-existence and should
be ignored.
Kanu spoke through the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful.
A statement by Powerful reads partly: “We the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great Leader
and liberator of our time, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to bring to the attention of
the entire world that the group called Conference of Igbo Elders for Peace and
Development (CIEPAD) that made the purported frivolous remarks against the
newly created Eastern Security Network ESN is fake and non-existent.
“The faceless IEPAD is but only a creation of the the
Department for State Services, DSS, meant to create confusion and deceive
gullible members of the public.
“We wouldn’t have dignified the amorphous group with a
response but for the purpose of setting the records straight. We therefore,
wish to inform the general public that the above named group does not exist and
has no place in our land. Members of the public should disregard any statement
coming from such fake, non-existent groups.
“This poor script by the DSS is confirmation that the launch
of ESN is a nightmare to the Janjawed Fulani controlled Federal Government
because their carefully laid out plans to take over Eastern region has failed
woefully.
“Well meaning individuals and groups like Afenifere, the
leading socio-cultural organization in Nigeria have already hailed the
formation of ESN. Easterners both home and in the diaspora have also continued
to send goodwill messages over this uncommon feat. Even the usually frightened
National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has grudgingly offered
his support to the security outfit.
“This is the only reason the security agencies who are
already jolted by the outpouring of commendations trailing the formation of ESN
from across the world is making frantic but belated efforts to discredit ESN
using faceless groups. This lame strategy is not new to us.
“DSS should stop dissipating energy trying to discredit ESN
because it was borne out of the people’s yearnings for security. The outpouring
of commendations on the social media is overwhelming. ESN is fully rooted in
the two regions of South East and South South for the protection of our
mothers, wives, sisters and children who are being dehumanised, raped, and
killed at will by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists.
“We wish to restate again that ESN is a child of necessity
born to eradicate terrorism and criminality in Biafra land, and it has come to
stay. It’s not targeted against law abiding citizens but only after criminal
elements and terrorists in our land. No amount of blackmail can make our people
to stop applauding the courage of IPOB leader in floating the security outfit.”
