The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has denied being culpable in the numerous fabricated lies, allegations and deliberate media propaganda against IPOB and ESN operatives by Nigerian government and its security agencies.

The group said it discovered that the Nigeria government and its security agencies have the penchant in peddling lies against innocent individuals and groups, especially those who stand on their way, and make efforts to expose them.

IPOB, in a statement on Friday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, said it has severally explained to the public that it has no camp in Orsumoghu, Lilu, in Anambra State and Mbaise, Obowo and Isu Local Government areas of Imo State.

It wondered how Nigeria Police would be dishing out fallacious narrative that they busted ESN camp in the mentioned communities even as gullible minds and imitation fellows believe them.

The statement partly reads: “The camp they attacked in Orsumoghu recently does not belong to ESN or IPOB. It is imperative to make it categorically clear to all that ESN and IPOB had, before now, declared those criminals behind the said camps wanted since December 2021. The Police Commissioner in Imo State should stop peddling lies against us in his desperation to create the false impression that he is working hard.

“IPOB and ESN are working tirelessly to ensure that our people are safe from these criminals created by the Nigeria security agencies in collaboration with the Imo State Government.

“The Nigeria police, army and DSS with their gimmicks cannot stop us from achieving our aims of securing total freedom for the oppressed people of Biafra.

“We have always said that the Nigerian government and security agencies, especially Police and DSS, created these criminal terrors.”
