Powerful
accused the Army of criminal misrepresentation of facts against IPOB
and ESN claiming that arrested criminals were ESN members.
 The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said persons killed by
the Nigerian army in Lilu area of Anambra state are not members of the
secessionist group.
IPOB said it has no camp in Lilu,Ihiala Local Government Area of
Anambra State, where soldiers revelled in Tuesday that it killed
suspected operatives of the group.
The Nigerian Army Public Relations Officer, Brigadier General
Nwachukwu had in a statement on Tuesday said it dislodged a notorious
stronghold of IPOB and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network
(ESN) in the area, in a joint operation.
But denying the claims by the Army, the Media and Publicity
Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful in a press statement said the group had
no camp in the area.
Powerful accused the Army of criminal misrepresentation of facts
against IPOB and ESN claiming that arrested criminals were ESN members.
The statement reads in part, “We wish to reiterate, that IPOB and ESN operatives have no camp in Lilu in Ihiala LGA of Anambra State.
“We are not militants and criminals and don’t need any camp in
Ihiala LGA. We are identifiable and we are all over Biafra land and IPOB
branches in the Diaspora.
“Nigeria security agencies are using the hatred they have on
the people of Biafra particularly IPOB and ESN members to unleash
cruelty on the people living in these communities where they suspect
that criminals are taking refuge.
“If criminals take refuge in any community in Biafra land, that
doesn’t make them IPOB members or ESN operatives. We have also not said
there are no more criminal gangs in Biafra land just like every other
country even in the advanced Western nations. But we won’t accept the
tagging of every Criminal element found in Biafra as an IPOB member or
ESN operative.
“Recall that some of these criminals were already mentioned by
IPOB leadership sometime during a broadcast. IPOB leadership said these
criminals were unleashing mayhem on innocent citizens in some
communities. Some of these hoodlums were a creation of wicked
politicians in their desperation to discredit IPOB and ESN.” |
