"ESN does not indulge in any form of kidnap nor demand ransom"-IPOB declares

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Nnamdi Kanu has debunk report of the

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have denied responsibility for the alleged kidnapping and killing of three Taraba indigenes by its militia arm, the Eastern Security Network (ESN). IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful issued a statement on June 20 calling the accusations false and challenging the so-called Taraba indigenes to publicly make a video of themselves so that Biafrans and the world can see who is sponsoring the terrorists. IPOB has consistently denied involvement in kidnappings, murders, or other criminal activities, and has accused its enemies of spreading false information in an attempt to discredit the organization.

On June 13, 2024, a video surfaced showing foreign and local Fulani terrorists in Biafra Land. The terrorists were intercepted by ESN operatives and confessed they were sent to camp in a certain location in Biafra Land. The terrorists also confessed that some of them were already on the ground in Biafra land while others were to arrive soon. Their mission was to destabilize Biafra land. After ESN operatives interrogated the terrorists, they were given appropriate treatment and dislodged from carrying out their attack in Biafra Land.

" The so-called Taraba indigenes should look for their terrorists brothers in one of the forests in the North. They have been dislodged from Biafra Land and sent back where they came from. The terrorists are not in the custody of ESN. 

"The purported news that some Taraba indigenes said that ESN killed 3 of their brothers and demanded N20 million ransom to release the remaining 9 is false. The so-called Taraba indigenes claimed that the men that ESN intercepted in the middle of the night of June 12th, 2024, were fishermen. Questions begging for answers are:

1. What are those fishermen doing in the night inside Biafra bushes?

2. What are the fishermen doing with charms and weapons?

3. Which river or ocean in Biafra Land are the fishermen coming to fish in?

"If the so-called Taraba indigenes are in contact with anyone demanding N20 million to release their terrorist brothers, they can deal with them and showing evidence but keep ESN out of their terrorism and kidnapping business. 

ESN does not kidnap nor demand ransom. ESN are trained and disciplined Vigilantees with mandates to dislodge marauding Fulani terrorists from the Biafra territory.

"However, it is interesting that those who claimed that the intercepted and dislodged foreign and local Fulani terrorists are their brothers go on national television and tell the world the mission of their brothers in the Biafran Land with weapons and charms in the middle of the night. Biafrans and the world will be happy to identify those sponsoring terrorists to destabilize Biafra Land. It is sad that Nigeria is the only country where terrorists are protected, shielded, and defended. That is why terrorism and banditry are lucrative businesses for the Fulanis, according to the viral video of a Fulani wife who said that they have money to shop now that their husband is in banditry business. They are no longer selling (fura dunano) cow milk because their husbands have found a lucrative business called kidnapping.

"ESN Operatives are in all nooks and crannies watching over Biafra land. No amount of blackmail will deter them. They are under oath to ensure that the marauding terrorists are dislodged from Biafra Land for the peace and security of our lives and properties".
