Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has come out to address those who are against the formation of the Eastern Security Network.
The Eastern Security Network (ESN) is a regional security force and a paramilitary wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), based in the Igbo part of Nigeria.
Upon the creation of the ESN, Kanu explained that the group was necessary to protect Igbo natives and farmers from attacks by Fulani herdsmen.
Some critics have faulted the formation of the security outfit, stating that it is just a pretext for a military wing of the IPOB aimed at insurrection and secession, but Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters claim the group is no different from the Islamic police in the North and Amotekun in the South West region of the country.
Taking to his Twitter handle on Saturday night, January 30, Kanu stated that anyone who is against the ESN should ‘receive sense.’ He wrote;
“If you’re against Eastern Security Network, who will stop Fulani herdsmen & their allies in the Army/Police from murdering/raping you in your homes, farms & highways? Is it the Army/Police that are complicit or the @NGRPresident that enables them by pardoning them? Receive sense!”
