IPOB denies arrest of Commander in Ogbaru
…… says attack on US Embassy staff caused by rivalry in security agencies
The Indigenous People of Biafra on Saturday described as fabrication allegations that its commander was arrested in Ogbaru by security opertives.
According to the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, no Commander was arrested in Ogbaru as alleged by security agencies.
The statement partly read, “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU unequivocally debunk the fabricated and concocted lies from the Nigeria Security Agents of a purported arrest of four ESN Commanders in Ogbaru, Anambra State.
“It is pathetic that the compromised Nigeria Security Agents will always delude themselves by fake claims of ESN Commander’s arrest. Where was the arrest made? And what are the identities of those commanders arrested? IPOB wishes to tell the public to ignore the professional lying security agencies as there were no ESN commanders or operatives arrested anywhere in Ogbaru. As usual, the terrorists in uniforms may have arrested innocent people and called them ESN operatives so that they would extort thousands of Naira from their victims’ relatives as bail money. On the other hand, they may have arrested criminals impersonating ESN. Nigeria Security Forces regularly claiming that they have arrested ESN Operatives is childish. ESN Operatives are armed and can’t be preyed on like unarmed civilians that Nigeria Security preys on anyhow. All ESN Commanders and Operatives are intact.”
While debunking involvement in the recent attack on US Embassy staff, adding that it was a result rivalry of oil bunkering by security agencies, “Nigeria compromised security team at Ogbaru must come clean and tell the world who carried out attack on the USA Embassy Staff convoy instead of playing ostrich on such an international embarrassing attack The security crisis going on at Ogbaru is a rivalry between oil bunkering cartels, which Nigeria Government, Nigeria Security Agencies ( Navy, Army, DSS, and Police) are part of. It has been an ongoing war between the cartels before the attack on US Embassy Staff Convoy. That’s why Nigeria Police refused to carry out any investigation into the attacks. Instead, they go about arresting people and burning IPOB members’ and sympathizers’ homes at Ogbaru.
“The war within the oil bunkering cartel at Ogbaru will escalate because Nigeria criminal politicians and compromised security are the beneficiaries handling the issues with kid gloves.
“Nigeria Government and its Security Agencies should stop the public deception and attention diversions. They should come up with an investigation on what happened to the American Embassy staff convoy that was attacked and stop spreading fake news about ESN Commanders’ arrest. ESN are not part of their oil bunkering cartel, and no ESN Operative or Commander was arrested,” Powerful’s statement partly added.
