Southeast: IPOB condemns plans by governors to set up new security outfit

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned plans by the governors of Southeastern states to set up highway security patrols to fight insecurity.

The group said the Ebubeagu security outfit introduced by the governors has not been of any help but rather they kill and maim citizens of localities where they operate.

In a press release by its spokesperson, Mr Emma Powerful, the group said it will work to scuttle such plans if the governors continued with it.

Part of the release read: “We condemn the South East Governors’ plan to form another security outfit in the South East to patrol our highways. We declare such plans unacceptable because the murderous Ebubeagu they created has killed and destroyed many of our people’s lives and properties.

“We have Eastern Security Network (ESN) working day and night to secure our Region. These gallant men and women are paying the ultimate price to keep our land safe from State-sponsored terrorists. If it is not for ESN, by now, state-sponsored Fulani militias would have overrun Biafra Land.

“Therefore, we don’t want another security outfit within our territory. Forming another security outfit means that the Governors have exhausted their powers with Ebubeagu and are again looking for another means of causing confusion in Biafraland.
