The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday, April 17, ciamed that said it has uncovered plots by politicians in South East in collaboration with security agencies to abduct suspected members or supporters of the group.
This was contained in a statement issued by the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
IPOB alleged the move, suggested by the Federal Government as well as her security operatives was targeted at weakening its security outfit; in their efforts to flush herdsmen out of its territory.
The group also alleged Southeast Governors, Ohaneze Ndigbo, traditional rulers and President Generals of some communities were secretly compiling names of suspected IPOB members and ESN operatives across the zone for onward transmission to the Nigerian government.
IPOB vowed to make the zone too hot for the Southeast Governors if they refuse to withdraw the alleged plans against its members and supporters.
The statement reads: “We have severally explained that ESN has nothing to do; with the unknown gunmen responsible for the attacks in South East. We wonder why Government will continue to associate us with that group without investigations.
“We expect all traditional ruler and P/G’s in the South East communities to retrace their steps before it gets too late. The land will also rise against them if they allow this to happen! Any IPOB member or ESN operative killed shall be avenged!”
