The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Sunday, warned South-East governors, particularly, Dave Umahi not to work against its newly launched security outfit, the Eastern Security Network.
According to a statement by Emma Powerful, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, the governors must either desist from such act or face catastrophic consequences.
IPOB also warned local vigilantes set up by state governors in the zone not to allow themselves to be used to carry out what it called evil agenda or have themselves to blame, adding that SouthEast leaders would be held responsible for any form of attack on any of its security personnel.

Last week, the Prince UcheSecondus-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) marked its third year in office. LEON USIGBE assesses its standing and ongoing intrigues in the main opposition party in the buildup to the next political dispensation.
PRINCE Uche Secondus was a child of crisis from the day he emerged as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2017. He was not the favoured candidate by virtue of his South-South origin. That is if the argument of southwest stakeholders were to be considered. Politicians from this zone, including Chief Bode George had insisted that there was an understanding for the post to be zoned to the South-West, and therefore, Secondus was not qualified to hold the office at the time.

Kanu fumes as South-East govs reject IPOB ‘police’
Tony Okafor, Awka
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, on Sunday condemned the South-East governors for rejecting a security outfit purportedly launched by the secessionist group.
A statement on Sunday by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, described the governors’ action as shameful.
IPOB had last week announced the inauguration of a security out named: ‘Eastern Security Network’ to among other things, checkmate the activities of criminal herdsmen in Biafraland.
But the Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, who doubles as the Chairman of the South-East Governors, distanced the governments and people of the area from the IPOB security arrangement.
