Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday said it has uncovered plots by politicians, government officials and local authorities in South East in collaboration with security agencies to abduct suspected members or supporters of the group.
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.
In a statement from the Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged the move, suggested by the Federal Government and her security operatives was targeted at weakening its security outfit in their efforts to flush herdsmen out of its territory.
It 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 tradinonal 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!”
