General Caution: Criminals, Criminality Have No Room In IPOB/ESN

 General Caution: Criminals, Criminality Have No Room In IPOB/ESN

Nnamdi Kanu

In a recently released video announcement by IPOB, which also has a footage from one of the court outings of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), Kanu makes it clear that "he wants Biafraland to be calm and peaceful", warning that "IPOB is fighting to defend Biafrans, not to kill them".

Therefore, since the IPOB leader, who doubles as the General Commander of Eastern Security Network(ESN) has stated such about IPOB/ESN, which he oversees, the question that now beckons for an answer is; the people kidnapping for money, killing Biafrans, robbing Biafrans, etcetera with the name of IPOB/ESN, who is their leader, and who are they taking orders from?

Going by what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said, it is obvious that the people committing such crimes; kidnapping, raping, killing, organ harvesting and robbery are not his followers. Hence, they are not IPOB/ESN. IPOB/ESN take orders from Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who s their leader and commander.

As also voiced in the said video, this should tell Biafrans that anyone who comes to them with any criminal tendencies, is not from IPOB/ESN.

Definitely, such persons may claim to be IPOB/ESN, but it should be clear to the whole Biafra populace that POB/ESN does not collect taxes or levies of any sort from the public. Activities of IPOB/ESN are volunterily and sacrificially funded by her willing members worldwide. IPOB/ESN does not snatch cars, does not involve in kidnapping, does not involve in writing letters to people asking them to pay money for burial approval or business premises approval or security levies.

One principle that has ensured the continued existence of such above described IPOB is "command and control". Biafrans follow the orders of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and by extension, IPOB Directorate Of States (DOS) to the letter. It is therefore not rocket science to decipher that these criminals are external sponsors with predetermined objectives.

In respect to this, IPOB/ESN have issued a notification; stating that IPOB/ESN does not know such criminal elements as her members. IPOB has also issued an official warning to those using IPOB/ESN's name to commit such crimes. Such persons should stop now and turn a new leaf or face the wrath of IPOB.

For those Biafrans recruited or rented by politicians and external forces to use IPOB/ESN's name to commit crimes, what do you gain from killing, rapping, snatching of cars from Biafrans? Are you helping to better or worsen the lives of Biafrans? Let us remember that blood is thicker than water. Spilling of the blood of our people is never the best. Rather, let us channel our energy towards the restoration of Biafra (our promised Land). You should know that when you present yourself to the enemy to use as a tool to destroy your people over a fake promise of material things, they will not spare you too once they succeed in destroying your people. Be wise!
