The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has volunteered to join security agencies across the country to fight terrorism, banditry and other forms of criminality.
The pro-Biafra group in a statement issued by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful said the IPOB is focused on ensuring an end to criminality across all states in the Southeast region.
According to Powerful, the IPOB is ready to work with the Nigeria Police, the Nigerian Military and other security agencies to stomp out members of the ISWAP terrorists and armed bandits in Igboland.
He said, “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, worldwide under the command of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to reiterate our position to the whole world in general and Nigerians in particular, that the fact that every region in Nigeria is presently under siege by killer herdsmen and the march of jihad with the only exception being Biafraland, South East and South South, is a testament to the effectiveness of ESN.
“By stopping these killers from the Sahel, be they ISWAP, Fulani killer herdsmen or their armed Sharia law advocates, ESN has continued to demonstrate loyalty to its core mandate of protecting the entire South East from killers herdsmen and their affiliates,” Powerful noted.
He also stated that the IPOB and the ESN, the security outfit of the group will continue to discharge this duty of keeping the Southeast safe with every sense of honour and discipline.
He said, “In this singular regard, IPoB has fulfilled its pledge to secure the borders of ancient Igboland, South East, and South-South, from the ravaging excesses of killer herdsmen.
“The fact that South East and South South governors are not lamenting the way their counterparts are presently doing in other regions is because of the stellar job ESN has done and will continue to do,” Powerful said.
