The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to reports that an Eastern Security Network, ESN, female executioner was arrested by security operatives.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, distanced the ESN from the arrested female executioner arrested by security operatives.
A statement by Powerful described the arrest of the female as a Nollywood movie script by the Nigerian Army.
Powerful said the claim by the female executioner that she was recruited into ESN four months ago was false because the militia group had not enlisted anyone since 2020.
According to Powerful: “From the so-called confessional statement of the purported female executioner, she claimed to have joined ESN four months ago, shows that she was handed over a very poor script because IPOB stopped the recruitment of ESN Operatives since 2020 before our Leader formally inaugurated ESN in December 2020.
“The caricature of the so-called female executioner, if it’s real, shows clearly that the girl is working with the Nigerian government collaborators to impersonate ESN in Enugu Ezike. A cursory observation of the female in question with her hairstyle tells discerning minds all they need to know. IPOB repudiates every attempt by the Nigerian government through their sponsored collaborators.”
He stressed that IPOB and ESN abhor any form of criminality because the group’s agenda to actualize Biafra remains unchanged.
Powerful insisted that those linking IPOB and ESN to criminalities are either under the influence of drugs or attempting to blackmail the separatist group.
