The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Director of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, Mohammed Babagana Monguno, of desperately attempting to blackmail its members.
IPOB said Monguno’s claim that security agents dislodged camps belonging to the Eastern Security Network, ESN, and arrested some of its Commanders was false.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, challenged Monguno to name and produce video evidence of ESN camps he alleged security operatives dislodged and its Commanders arrested.
A statement by Powerful reads partly: “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great prophet and indefatigable liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has been drawn to the shameful, disgraceful, and fallacious statement credited to the infamous terrorist sponsor and Director of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Retired General Mohammed Babagana Monguno to the effect that they dislodged ESN Camps and arrested some of its Commanders.
“This NIA Boss is the main culprit behind the numerous attacks, kidnapping and banditary in Nigeria since he assumed office in 2015.
“Monguno was among those who were colluding with Boko Haram to ravage his state of Borno.”
The NIA Director claimed that they attacked ESN camps and arrested some Commanders. We challenge them to mention the camps they dislodged and produce video evidence of the Commanders they claimed to have arrested.
“Mungono and his co-travellers should stop their public dance of shame, deception and lies against IPOB because it will not bring any positive result to you and co conspirators rather it shall destroy you and your criminal Agency.
“IPOB and ESN are too sophisticated for you to understand let alone have opportunity to penetrate ESN camps. We are intelligent freedom fighters not Fulani terrorist Herdsmen or Boko Haram which you set up and using achieve your twin agenda of making money and pursuing islamization of the Southern and Middle Belt regions of the Nigeria.
“You must know that you are addressing intelligent people in the world and particularly Biafrans. Mungono, you and NIA can’t locate the Camps of ESN Operatives.”
