The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, denied on Thursday that the Eastern Security Network, ESN, recruits cultists and criminals.
Such assertions, according to IPOB, are the result of certain evil and selfish politicians who are seeking to confuse residents in the southeast.
The ruling class is accused of enlisting criminals into a fake ESN in an effort to incriminate IPOB, according to a statement signed by Emma Powerful, the group’s spokesman.
ESN is not recruiting, according to Powerful, thus teenagers in the southeast should disregard such calls.
The statement reads: “We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to alert the world, particularly Biafrans, that some unscrupulous elements in our land are recruiting cultists and criminals as fake ESN members to further terrorize our people in Biafraland.
“Some wicked politicians and greedy individuals in Biafraland are behind the evil agenda to create confusion and unleash mayhem on innocent people in our land. The political class is colluding with these people to sponsor the recruitment of criminals as fake ESN in their desperation to implicate IPOB and ESN.
“We are warning the youths that IPOB is not recruiting new intakes for ESN and they should be careful and mindful because those behind this recruitment are not genuine members of IPOB or ESN security outfit.
“If you are involved in this fake recruitment process you are on your own, and be ready to bear the consequences. The leadership of IPOB has not asked anybody to recruit people for ESN.
“The general public should know that ESN is not recruiting, and should run away from being tricked by fraudsters. Anybody involved in any form of recruitment for ESN is an impostor and working for the enemies.”
