Oyogist.com has learned that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group has claimed that firearms used by the Eastern Security Network’s (ESN) are produced locally in the country.
The group stated this while reacting to reports that it was preparing an assault on banks in order to obtain cash for weapons.
IPOB’s publicity secretary, Emma Strong, while releasing a statement, said the group has no plans to attack any institution in the country.
The statement read in part;
“The DSS is spreading this vile propaganda in order to blackmail ESN and IPOB and tarnish our international image. “As a result, we wish to disprove this brazen lie from the pit of hell. IPOB and ESN are not offenders, and we have no intentions or objectives to attack any organization, including banks. ‘We don’t need money to buy weapons because we make them ourselves and can’t threaten or kidnap someone for ransom.’
“We don’t cause suffering to the people for whom we are fighting for their liberty. DSS must put an end to this nonsense and devote their time to something more worthwhile. This dreadful script is doomed to fail. “We cannot engage in armed robbery against any person or group because POB and ESN are very disciplined organizations. ESN has never abandoned its mission of defending Biafra land from Fulani terrorists and killer herdsmen.
“All banks in Biafraland should be wary of the DSS because it is likely that they are trying to fund bank attacks and then blame it on IPOB and ESN operatives as usual. He said.
