Nnamdi Kanu breaks silence on ESN camps infiltrated by Police

The supreme leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has lambasted security operatives for claiming to have infiltrated camps of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Imo state.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that operatives of the Imo State Police Command reportedly killed some suspected ESN members during raids on their camps at Atta, Izombe and Ideato North areas of the state.

It was gathered that operatives of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Special Tactical Squad (STS), Anti-Kidnapping Unit (AKU) and other special forces were said to have carried out the operation and completely overran the three IPOB/ESN camps.

Speaking through IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, Kanu described such claims as propaganda, adding that security operatives cannot infiltrate ESN camps.

According to Kanu, security agents made up such claims to deceive Nigerians and collect money from the government.

A statement by Powerful reads partly: “We equally want to put it on record that the purported camps destroyed by security agents are not ESN camps. The false claims were to create the wrong impression that they are working hard and probably collect more money from their stupid Government.

“The fact remains that ESN camps cannot be infiltrated or combed by the Nigeria security agents. They are only out for propaganda to deceive the gullible into thinking that ESN is vulnerable, they are not. The wicked Nigeria security agents attacked the home of a Sabatarian in Imo some time ago and tagged him the commander of ESN and his compound as ESN camp.

“Those who claimed a native doctor preparing charms for ESN are not IPOB or ESN security operatives. It’s unfortunate that it’s only in Biafra land that the weak and hypocritical Nigeria security agents zealously destroy the houses of native doctors but they are unable to locate native doctors preparing charms for terrorists, bandits and Fulani herdsmen.

“The public must disregard this junk news being dished out by the Nigeria police and Imo Supreme Court Administrator, Hope Uzodinma about the beheading of a native doctor from Imo state by IPOB and ESN.”
