THE Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), has said its security outfit, the Eastern Security Network, will be launched in the northern part of Nigeria soon.

This came as a result of the group vowing to resist the planned deployment of 5,000 vigilantes to the South-East region by the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN).

The MACBAN had earlier on Saturday vowed to deploy 5,000 of its vigilantes to the South-East region to protect herders and their cattle amidst the tribal ethics crisis looming.

In response, IPOB in a statement signed by it's Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, said it was ready to resist the plan deployment by Miyetti Allah, adding that such malicious threat was an insult to Indigbo people and Eastern region.

According to the group, the security outfit for the South-East geopolitical zone lunch 2weeks ago by governors of the region, was dead on arrival.

The IPOB group statement read, 

“The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra has been drawn to the threat by Miyetti Allah to deploy 5,000 jihadists to Biafra land to protect their cows and herders following the floating of Ebube Agu security outfit by South-East governors.

“We consider this utterance an insult to the entire Biafra and won’t tolerate it despite our grievances against the treacherous South-East governors and the political elite.

“The Miyetti Allah and their terrorists group should know that they shouldn’t play God forever. They are trying to provoke ESN and IPOB to take a drastic action.  IPOB and ESN are running out of patience with their insults.”
