The Eastern Security Network (ESN) and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have distanced themselves from the gunman’s recent attack on the Okigwe Correctional Center in Imo State.
The IPOB refuted the claim made by the Nigeria Police Force’s Imo State Command that ESN agents were behind the attack in a statement released by Emma Powerful, the group’s media and publicity secretary.
The police and the administration of Governor Hope Uzodimma are aware of the attacks, claims IPOB.
Powerful said, “Imo State Police is aware of those behind the alleged attacks at Okigwe Correctional Center, but because there is an agenda to blackmail IPOB/ESN, they had to pin the attack on IPOB.
“If Nigeria Police has the ability to pin attacks on IPOB and ESN within minutes of something happening without investigation, why do we still have cases of unresolved high-profile killings in Nigeria?
“We want the public to understand that the Nigerian Government and the Nigeria Police would have masterminded the alleged attacks at the Okigwe Correctional Center just to blackmail IPOB/ESN or to free some of the arrested criminal infiltrators that may expose their conspiracy against IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.”
