Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday gave a stern warning to the Police, Army, and Department of State Service, DSS officials from Benue State, especially those from Tiv origin, to establish their own version of Eastern Security Network, ESN, in order to defend the lives of their people against Fulani herdsmen.

Kanu, in a statement released by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful, asked the special forces to imitate IPOB’s Eastern Security Network, rather than wasting their energy to clamping it.

The statement reads thus: “To those Tiv men in the Zoo Police, Army and DSS deployed to the East, i have news for you. Your people in Tiv land are being sacked from their villages as you are busy doing Rambo in Biafra land.

“I warned all of you that by the time you finish your tour of Biafra land, assuming you are still alive, the same Fulani Terrorists that sent you to my land, would occupy yours in perpetuity.

“Emulate the IPOB’s ESN, to defend your brothers and sisters who are currently being sacked from your communities instead of engaging yourself in South East to fight against ESN.

“Go back home, form a version of ESN and defend your land against these vandals from the foothills of the Futa Jallon.”
