The Ikeduru ESN Camp And The Nigerian Joint Forces' Deceptive Claims

 The Ikeduru ESN Camp And The Nigerian Joint Forces' Deceptive Claims

At the early hours of Tuesday 8th June 2021, the Nigerian joint armed forces claimed that they invaded the camp of Eastern Security Network (ESN), at Ikeduru in Imo State, apprehended some ESN operatives and burnt down their building.

And one is supposed to be surprised at such a false claim. Does Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commanded that Eastern Security Network (ESN) camp should be situated at residential quarters? Has it not been severally proven that the camping places of these gallant men are located in the bushes and forests of Biafraland? Even without being told, any informed person in Nigeria at the moment should have noticed how the Nigeria police and military have continued to operate with criminal impunity, especially across Biafraland. When they see people going about their normal businesses, they would unjustly arrest them and tag them any criminal name of choice, intimidate them and force incriminating words into their mouths.

Reasonable and responsible persons in the shitholic country called Nigeria, is supposed to ask the police the following questions:

* How many of the ESN men were in that house you burnt when you invaded it?

* What were the proves that the building in question is really within ESN camp?

* And when did you notice that ESN started living in residential homes, because even your army proved it at Orlu in the same Imo State that ESN personnel were in the bushes, wherefore they went to bomb them with helicopter gunboats.

Without mincing words, the Nigerian uniformed men need to essentially learn how to be more objective in their reasonings and stop tagging people wrongly without investigations. When they finally learn, maybe they can start proper investigations before dishing out fallacies to the general public. They should also know that people have known their cunning craftiness.

We have seen many cases where these terrorist groups in uniforms have set people up in order to incriminate them. We have seen many cases like the Ikeduru scenerio where they set people's homes ablaze and tagged them one name or the other, to justify their deceptive claims.

Nigeria and her security forces should well understand that the people can be fooled actually, but not all the time. Sooner than later, they will inevitably feel the wrath of the people.
