The
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has clarified that the murdered Commander of
its security outfit, Eastern Security Network, ESN was killed while he was sleeping
in his father’s compound.
This was
contrary to the previous report by the Nigerian army that the commander was
killed during a gun battle.
Recall
that Nigerian security forces carried out a joint operation in Imo State on
Saturday, April 24 which led to the death of the ESN Commander, Ikoson and
several others.
In a
statement on Tuesday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged that the
Nigerian security forces eliminated the commander over his decision to
eradicate herdsmen from the Southeast.
“The
bitter truth the Nigerian Government didn’t want people to hear, which IPOB
disclosed at the said interview, was that Ikonso was murdered in his father’s
house, not in any imaginary ESN camp or battlefield as the liars would hope to
have us believe.
“The same
Army, Police and DSS in Imo State that never for one day arrested or prosecuted
any Fulani terror herdsman ravaging Imo State before the coming of Ikonso; the
same Nigerian security agents that have always provided cover for terrorists
and bandits, had the guts to ambush and kill the only man that drove Fulani
terrorist herdsmen out of Imo State.
The group
which accused the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma of plotting the death of
the commander, had in a statement, vowed to launch a reprisal attack.
