The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has stated that the Eastern Security Network, ESN will continue to operate in the south-eastern part of the country.
ESN is the militia arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. In a statement on Wednesday, Kanu accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration of ‘killing and abducting biafrans’.
He wrote; “Again #ESN was created out of necessity. As long as Buhari’s regime continues to kill and abduct #Biafrans across the (SE)! #ESN will continue to protect Igbo people from the brutal attacks of terrorists, bandits and herdsmen.”
Nigerian Security agencies have recorded huge success in neutralising ESN members responsible for wreaking havoc, burning police stations and INEC offices in the region.
One of the major ESN leaders by the name of Ikonso, who was allegedly the arrowhead of a major prison break in Owerri, Imo state a few months ago, was also shot and killed by police officers after they traced him to his hideout in a forest.
