Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra anf Co-ordinator of the Eastern Security Network, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has stated that the Governors of Ebonyi and Enugu states, Dave Umahi and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi are ‘Deputy Commanders’ of the Eastern Security network.
Reacting to a report that the Nigerian army successfully captured one Awurum Eze, who is reportedly an IPOB second-in-command and ESN leader, Kanu disclosed that Eze was not a member of the group. He also criticized the army for using a picture of him and Eze to justify the arrest.
He tweeted; “Since standing beside or taking a photo with me makes you an #ESN “deputy commander”, perhaps the very preeminent & foremost constitutional lawyer, Prof. Nwabueze, @DaveUmahi, & Gov. Ugwuanyi are all #ESN deputy commanders.”
“@HQNigerianArmy exhibiting their usual idiocy. #ZOO”
