The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has debunked ownership of a camp in Lilu, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, where soldiers revelled in Tuesday that it killed suspected operatives of the group.

The Nigerian Army Public Relations Officer, Brigadier General Nwachukwu had in a statement on Tuesday said it dislodged a notorious stronghold of IPOB and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the area, in a joint operation.

But denying the claims by the Army, the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful in a press statement said the group had no camp in the area.

Powerful accused the Army of criminal misrepresentation of facts against IPOB and ESN claiming that arrested criminals were ESN members.

The statement reads in part, “We wish to reiterate, that IPOB and ESN operatives have no camp in Lilu in Ihiala LGA of Anambra State.

“We are not militants and criminals and don’t need any camp in Ihiala LGA. We are identifiable and we are all over Biafra land and IPOB branches in the Diaspora.

“Nigeria security agencies are using the hatred they have on the people of Biafra particularly IPOB and ESN members to unleash cruelty on the people living in these communities where they suspect that criminals are taking refuge.

“If criminals take refuge in any community in Biafra land, that doesn’t make them IPOB members or ESN operatives. We have also not said there are no more criminal gangs in Biafra land just like every other country even in the advanced Western nations. But we won’t accept the tagging of every Criminal element found in Biafra as an IPOB member or ESN operative.

“Recall that some of these criminals were already mentioned by IPOB leadership sometime during a broadcast. IPOB leadership said these criminals were unleashing mayhem on innocent citizens in some communities. Some of these hoodlums were a creation of wicked politicians in their desperation to discredit IPOB and ESN.”

If IPOB denies anything, it means they are guilty of that.

Living in denial is their forte.

Emma powerful and his bunch of brainless ipob commanders should cover their faces in shame.They have allowed young live blood Igbo guys to die like chickens.

What happened to all the billions donated by different groups and individuals for the Biafran cause?


Shouldnt they have fortified those esn operatives camps with land mines, surveillance cameras,anti aircraft guns to make it difficult for the army to penetrate easily.They should come learn about modern warfare, defense strategies from Niger delta militants.

Incoherent, did you read the write up at all.

How Ipob terrorists operate

. Those killed are not our members

They deny them immediately they are killed.

God bless Nigeria army for killing vigilante in anambra with ESN outfit preparing to enforce sit at home before they were dislodged.

Since Tuesday till today Lilu community has been rejoicing.

Go to the town every joint they are drinking and merrying. A woman there said God should reward Nigeria army atleast they can sleep with their eyes closed.

How can Lilu community be rejoicing that vigilante protecting them was killed?

Ipob terrorists should nurse their pain...more will go town.

Anambra will no longer be a breeding ground for useless terrorists.

Myexdisturbs:

You deserve death too, terrorist

owobokiri:

What are you upset about?
All I said is that if it was "terrorists" that were killed. No pro!
But if they are not "terrorists" and your type are here urinating on the grave of these ones, may you and your families be eliminated in the most gruesome way possible! What's wrong with that?
You are sure so why are you agitated?
