The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned that anyone joining the new security outfit, Ebube Agu, to spy on its own security network, Eastern Security Network (ESN) should be ready to die.

Ebube Agu was floated on Sunday by South-East governors during a regional security meeting in Owerri, Imo State, for the purposes of overseeing the security of the geo-political zone.

IPOB in a statement on Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the governors “have made a mockery of themselves in their usual quest to please their masters”.

It wondered how a security outfit could be launched without first assembling the personnel and equipping them.

The group recalled that when Amotekun was formed in the South-West, it was not abstract, saying that the personnel and the equipment were handy, just like when its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, floated ESN.

The statement partly reads: “How then did South East 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?

“However, whether or not they were under any influence, we want to remind these bunch of caliphate slaves that 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 South East will crash because ESN is already on ground and living up to expectations.”

IPOB said that ESN was floated based on the clamour by the people, who it explained have since thrown their support behind the outfit.

It added: “Forming another regional security outfit is suspicious, and a needless waste. The governors failed our people when they needed their protection. It’s already late.

“Biafrans will not be deceived by this purported Ebubeagu security outfit which is a huge joke. South East governors set up the outfit probably to fulfill 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 Ebubeagu 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 EBUBEAGU 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 Fulani terrorists plans to decimate indigenous tribes in Nigeria. We are also aware of federal government’s tacit support for this evil agenda. But

IPOB and ESN promise them that no inch of our land will be given to Fulani terrorists herdsmen in the East.”
