IPOB Press Release
August 31 2024 | IPOB
The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to debunk the propaganda by the Enugu State Police that ESN Operatives attacked them at Four Corner, Enugu State on the 18th of August 2024.
It is unfortunate that the Nigeria Police and their Military have sustained their lies and propaganda against ESN Operatives to divert attention and justify the Nigerian State sponsored crimes in Biafraland but ESN are too disciplined to be distracted by the media propaganda of the Nigeria government, and its security agencies.
The Nigerian government and her murderous Security Agencies are very much aware of who the criminal perpetrators are because they always arrange these premeditated crimes just so they can blackmail IPOB and ESN.
According to the Nigerian Police, the attackers wore military fatigue. The question that reasonable people should ask the Nigerian Police is since when has the ESN begun to wear military uniforms. Worthy of note is the fact that neither the Nigerian Police nor the assailants suffered any casualties in this staged attack. IPOB is not perturbed by the Nigerian Police claims because the Nigerian Police knows who the assailants were since they recruited them.
Just for avoidance of doubt, ESN Operatives never and will never wear military uniforms. Since, the formation of ESN, IPOB has consistently maintained that Biafra does not have an Army yet. ESN Operatives have never claimed or paraded themselves as an army. Therefore, if the Nigerian Police Commissioner in Enugu State claimed that their attackers wore military uniforms, do they need a soothsayer to tell them whom the attackers were?
ESN Operatives did not attack anyone at four conner junctions or any place in Enugu State, or in the entire South East Region for that matter. ESN Operatives do not wear military uniforms because they are not an Army but only a Vigilante detailed to keep our forest and farmlands safe for our people to engage in their subsistence agricultural activities.
Until Biafra is restored, ESN will remain Vigilantes and will not wear or parade themselves in military fatigue. Nigeria Government and her propaganda Security Agencies know the difference between ESN Operatives and the Nigerian government sponsored criminal elements. But to sustain their blackmail, they refused to call the assailants by their name, even when the criminals claim responsibility for their heinous crimes.
ESN Operatives are not after the Nigeria Security Forces. We have emphasized this in our previous press releases that IPOB and ESN are not after the Nigeria Security Forces. ESN Operatives are in the Biafra farmlands and forests, keeping them safe for agricultural activity.
Since the formation of ESN, they have never attacked any Nigeria Security Agency or institution. However, the federal government stooges in Imo and Enugu State government houses are the ones collaborating with the Nigerian Security Agencies to blackmail IPOB. Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and his clueless counterpart Supreme Court administrator in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma are busy linking IPOB and ESN to the criminality they created in their States to please their sponsor government at the center.
Peter Mbah and Hope Uzodinma will regret all their treachery against Ndigbo in the future. These men and few other political criminals are the ones sponsoring insecurity in the South East Region.
The Federal Government of Nigeria’s agenda against Ndigbo is to sponsor an unending insecurity in the South East to frustrate Biafrans, make Biafra agitation unattractive and to discourage investment in the South East. Unfortunately, they have some willing tools they have rigged into office and some criminals to sustain their agenda.
Any Biafran involved in damaging the image of IPOB and ESN will suffer for their evil collaboration. It is just a matter of time.
The Enugu and Imo State Police Commands should sharpen their lying and propaganda skills and become more professional at it.
COMRADE EMMA POWERFUL, MEDIA, AND PUBLICITY SECRETARY FOR IPOB.
