Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) have been warned to steer clear
of Benue State.
This followed the recent threat by Kanu to send ESN members
to protect Igbo people living in Benue.
Kanu identified Ado and Oju Local Government Areas as places
that need the presence of ESN.
In his reaction, Ado Local Government admonished Kanu to
stop dragging Benue into “his self-seeking campaign”.
The Chairman, James Oche, told reporters on Saturday that
the territorial integrity of the state would never be a subject of Biafra
agitation.
He cautioned proponents of Kanu’s “inordinate ideology” in
Benue to desist or face the wrath of the law.
On the IPOB leader’s comment about the “abduction” of 3
people, Oche clarified that they were arrested in connection with the murder of
an elderly Fulani man, Mohammed Isa.
“It was an act that threatened the security of the area and
made the Deputy Governor summon a meeting that was held yesterday in Makurdi
with all concerned stakeholders.
“Kanu reportedly issued statements charging Benue Governor
to protect ‘IPOB communities’ or he would send Eastern Security Network
operatives to do so. He should stop insulting the sensibilities of Benue
people.”
The LG boss assured that Governor Samuel Ortom was doing his
best in terms of security.
He advised the people to remain calm and support the
governor’s commitment to the full implementation of the Anti Open Grazing Law.
