IPOB has accused the National Security Adviser of Blackmail.

The Eastern Security Network and the Indigenous People of Biafra claim that Babagana Monguno, the national security adviser, is trying to blackmail them.

Monguno’s assertion that security personnel ejected ESN camps and detained some of its commanders was false, according to IPOB.

This was mentioned in a statement released by Emma Powerful, the IPOB’s director of media and publicity, on Sunday. A copy of the message was sent to ENaija TV.

The statement read, 

“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.

“Every the janjaweed in this terrorist-sponsoring government is simply motivated by two simple factors in all their decisions and actions as head of one Security Agency or the other. And these are (1) Pecuniary gain and (2) Jihadist and Islamist mindset. They have created insecurity on the one hand to loot the treasury of Nigeria for their personal gain and on the other hand use the same insecurity to intimidate every other indigenous Nation in the Zoo in furtherance of their islamist agenda.

“This explains their constant fuelling of inferno of insecurity in order to continue stealing from the wealth of these Indigenous nations. Ask yourself why despite the humongous amount of money being set aside for the security of lives and property of the unfortunate inhabitants of the contraption called Nigeria, their lives and property are worsening security wise.”

It added, “The NIA director claimed that they attacked the 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.

“Monguno 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.”
