ESN Doesn’t Engage In Criminality Or Terror

IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenious People of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has said his security network dubbed the Eastern Security Network, ESN is not a terror organisation and does not engage in criminality.

He also denied claims that ESN is behind the various attacks in the Southern part of Nigeria.

Kanu on December 13 2020 launched the ESN security outfit due to the rising insecurity in the region. 

There have been allegations that the ESN was behind the various attacks on police formations in the South South and South Eastern parts of the country.

In a tweet posted today, May 17, Kanu said operatives of the security outfit are too disciplined to be involved in criminal activities.

His tweet reads:

“I’ve said it before but let me say it again that the Eastern Security Network I command is strictly organized to deal with TERRORIST herdsmen in our land. 

ESN is a highly disciplined group of volunteers that do not engage in any act of criminality or terror”
