The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has confirmed the killing of Easten Security Network (ESN), commander.
The confirmation came with a threat to Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma.
On Saturday, a joint operation by security forces killed ESN Commander Ikonso and 6 other members of the group.
The authorities blamed IPOB for series of attacks on security facilitiesbin the south East region.
IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, in a statement, said the body led by Nnamdi Kanu, was angry about Saturday’s “unprovoked attack”.
He said the ESN operatives were gunned down at Oguta junction at Mgbidi, along Owerri road Onitsha expressway by a joint security forces comprising the army, police and DSS operatives, with the support of Imo State Government.
Powerful described that the killing of the “heroic innocent Biafrans protecting various towns and communities from Fulani herdsmen masquerading as cattle herders in cold blood as very painful”.
He vowed that Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma and all those who had hands in this wickedness will pay dearly.
Hope Uzodinma and his cowardly Nigerian security agencies that cannot confront Fulani herdsmen but only flex their muscles when they see Biafra agitators.
For murdering Ikonso, the ESN unit COMMANDER in cold blood, Uzodima has stirred the hornet nest! He should get ready for a sting” he said.
