By Cyprian Ebele, Oniitsha 

The indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday insisted  that its camp was not attacked in Aba, Abia State as wrongly claimed by Nigeria military, who allegedl that it attacked and killed six ESN Operatives.

The spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful, made this known in a statement signed and issued to newsmen on Tuesday.

He disclosed that, “This claim is part of the Nigerian Army’s blackmail and propaganda against IPOB that should be trashed. All ESN Camps are intact.

The invaded camp that belongs to a group that called themselves Biafran National Guard (BNG). This group has no affliction with IPOB and ESN.. IPOB is not the only group agitating for Biafra. 

“Even when other groups claim responsibility for any violent actions, Nigeria Army will tag their actions on IPOB. The answer is that IPOB is the only genuine group agitating for Biafra freedom and the Nigerian Government is much aware.

“After the invasion, the Army labelled the boldly captioned Liberation Army Valley camp as ESN camp just to blackmail IPOB for standing resolute in our Self determination struggle. The latest claim by the Nigerian Army of invading and killing some of the armed agitators is one of their blackmail against IPOB and ESN. 

“Whether the Nigerian Army invaded the camp or killed the armed fighters, has nothing to do with ESN Operatives. ESN Operatives have no camp in the so called Afikpo forest and we do not have any affiliation with the BNG armed group” they stated
