The Indigenous People of Biafra has debunked reports alleging that scores killed in Aba on Tuesday by the Nigerian Army and police were operatives Eastern Security Network.
The separatist group challenged the Nigerian security agents to publish pictures of their operation.
Emma Powerful, the media and publicity secretary of the group said the army was lying by claiming they killed ESN operatives, adding that those killed are innocent citizens.
According to Powerful: “Ask the army and police to show pictures or videos of those ESN operatives they killed. Army, police, air force, including all the other security outfits in Nigeria cannot do ESN anything, not when they killed innocent citizens and they tagged them ESN operatives.
“Ask the soldiers to disclose where ESN camp is located and how it looks like. Don’t mind the army propaganda machine because we know them before they come, they can’t deceive us. ESN is rooted and Nigerian security agencies cannot come across them.
“ESN is out to defend and protect our land and forest; nothing they can do to stop us. Let them come; we are waiting for them. Let them show the bodies of those they claimed to have killed. Nigerian soldiers should stop lying to the public.”
