The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said the Ebube Agu security outfit launched by the Southeast governors will crash because the Eastern Security Network (ESN) is already on ground.
IPOB said there was no need for another vigilante outfit since it had already set up ESN, describing Ebube Agu as a waste of resources.
IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, stated this on Tuesday in a statement, adding that the governors “belatedly announced the formation of an abstract security outfit called Ebube Agu to secure the zone…”
“How can you launch a security outfit without first assembling the personnel and equipping them?
“When Amotekun was formed, it was not an abstract. The personnel and their equipment were handy. When our leader floated the gallant ESN, the men were on the ground.
“How then did Southeast…governors announce a security outfit without any personnel? Or were they under any pressure to hurriedly make the announcement after years of foot-dragging and deceit?
“Whether or not they were under any influence,…there is no need for them to form another security outfit in our land since we have our formidable ESN.
“They woke up from their slumber rather too late. We have gone beyond that stage unless they are on a mission to sabotage ESN.
“Any other security outfit formed in Southeast will crash because ESN is already on the ground and living up to expectations.
“ESN was floated based on the clamour by our people, and they have since thrown their support behind the outfit.
“Forming another regional security outfit is suspicious, and needless waste. The governors failed our people when they needed their protection. It’s already late.
“Biafrans will not be deceived by this purported Ebube Agu security outfit which is a huge joke.
“Southeast governors set up the outfit probably to fulfil all righteousness or to spy on ESN to curry favour from their Fulani slavemasters.
“We, therefore, warn our youths to have nothing to do with the so-called Ebube Agu security outfit, which was ostensibly formed to sabotage IPOB and ESN.
“Anyone who neglects this warning and thinks he can hide under the cloak of Ebube Agu to spy on ESN should be prepared to join his ancestors.
“The protection of all Biafrans is our priority and we are prepared to sacrifice anything to achieve this. We are aware of terrorists’ plans to decimate indigenous tribes in Nigeria…
“But IPOB and ESN promise them that no inch of our land will be given to terrorist herdsmen in the Southeast.”
