IPOB Strongly Rejects Nigerian Military’s Claim of Busting ESN Armoury in Enugu
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed as “false and misleading” the Nigerian Army’s claim that it discovered and dismantled an Eastern Security Network (ESN) armoury in Enugu State.
In a powerful statement released on 14th June 2026 by the IPOB Directorate of States, the group declared that no ESN armoury exists in the location mentioned, the paraded individuals are not IPOB/ESN members, and the weapons displayed do not belong to ESN.
IPOB described the operation as recycled propaganda meant to smear the image of the Eastern Security Network and justify continued military operations in Biafraland.
The statement reaffirmed that the ESN was created to protect Biafran communities from armed Fulani herders’ attacks and kidnappings due to the failure of Nigerian security agencies.
