The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has denied that its
security outfit, Eastern Security Network (ESN), is responsible for the attack
on the Imo State police headquarters and the Correctional Centre in Owerri on
Monday.
IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, in a statement insisted that
ESN and IPOB are focused on chasing Fulani herdsmen away from their forests.
“ESN is in the bush chasing Fulani terrorists. Why linking
IPOB and ESN to this attack? IPOB and ESN were not involved in the attack in
Owerri, Imo State. and the recent attack on Onitsha Owerri road at Ukwuorji
junction.
“It is not our mandate to attack security personnel or
prison facilities.
“The Nigeria Government and her compromised media outfits
should stop linking IPOB and ESN to the multiple attacks going on in Nigeria
now.
“IPOB was formed on the principle of peace and we are still
in it. Unknown gunmen is a different people which we don’t know them and they
are not IPOB or ESN security outfit,” the statement read.
Unidentified hoodlums attacked
the correctional centre on Monday morning, setting the prison on fire and freed
hundreds of inmates.
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in his reaction said “no one
deserves to be in prison in Nigeria“.
