The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, that the group will resist any attempt to resurrect Ebubeagu security outfit in the South East.
Speaking in a statement issued on Monday, the Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful described as “laughable” the call by Prof. Obiozor on South East Governors to re-establish Ebubeagu.
He said Ebubeagu security outfit is “ridiculous, weak and unpopular” and unable to confront the Fulani bandits terrorising the region.
The comrade said that the security outfit is “only good at humiliating innocent Biafra youths with the collaboration of security agents”.
Therefore, he said: “We want to make it categorically clear to Ohaneze Ndigbo and its co-travellers that any attempt to re-establish Ebubeagu security outfit in South East will further worsen the precarious security situation in the zone.
“They should understand that our gallant Eastern Security Network (ESN) operatives have been sacrificing so dearly to secure our ancestral land.
“But instead of complementing the efforts of ESN and IPOB to secure and defend our land against Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen, these saboteurs disguising as Ebubeagu security operatives give information on ESN to the wicked Nigeria security agencies.
“Because of this treachery, IPOB and ESN cannot operate together with Ebubeagu with undefined mission.”
Emma Powerful alleged that South East governors have ulterior motives in forming Ebubeagu, hence, could not seen them as sincere outfit to secure or protect Biafraland.
He warned Prof Obiozor and his Ohaneze not to take IPOB calmness for weakness and cowardice.
“They should not test the will of our people because we have no confidence in Ebubeagu.
“The formation of Ebubeagu from every indication was to counter the efforts of our Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu towards Biafra restoration.
“South East governors have no plan to protect our land but formed Ebubeagu to attack ESN and IPOB members. George Obiozor and Ohanaeze Ndigbo should not set Igbo land on fire.
“ESN/IPOB are ready to resist them anytime they are re-launched, and Biafrans should hold George Obiozor and Ohanaeze Ndigbo responsible for anything that happens.
“They will regret any attempt to resurrect or re-launch this treacherous outfit that has sabotaged our march towards freedom.
“Since Obiozor and his Ohanaeze Ndigbo support them to kill any IPOB and ESN member, they should understand that we will no longer allow them to waste innocent Biafran youths.
“Many IPOB and ESN operatives tracked and killed were done by Ebubeagu sponsored by South East governors and this time around, it is not going to be business as usual.
“Our intention has never been to attack our people or innocent people except Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen and rampaging in our territory.
“But instead of complementing the patriotic efforts of our men, these saboteurs rather turn their weapons against our men in the desperation of their sponsors to curry favour from the Fulani cabal ruling the contraption called Nigeria.
“Our intelligence revealed that most atrocities committed in our land were perpetrated by Ebubeagu with the intent to implicate IPOB and ESN.
“Prof. George Obiozor should tread with caution!” he warned.
