Nnamdi Kanu dares Ortom, sends ‘Biafra soldiers’ to Benue

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has sent members of the Eastern Security Network to Benue State.

The security team in their first outing in the state have reportedly captured a notorious leader of a gang of Fulani bandits, identified as Mohammed Isa.

This was made known in a statement released by the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful on Monday.
Kanu said Isa is currently in custody of ESN.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that the IPOB last week vowed to send his team to Benue State to protect Igbo residents from the killer Fulani herders disguising as military men in the state or ESN would take charge.

He said the decision became necessary following the alleged failure of the Samuel Ortom’s government to protect his Igbo kinsmen and kinswomen.

Kanu, in the statement, said Isa and his gang had been attacking peaceful communities in Benue State and its environs.

The statement read, “I want to commend men and women of the Northern Command of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) for the successful capture of Mohammed Isa, the notorious leader of Fulani bandits and killers in the Lower Benue.

“This individual and his gang of murderers have been terrorising peaceful farming communities in Benue and nearby states.

“I reiterate my warning to Miyetti Allah and their sympathisers in Aso Rock that our noble quest to rid our land of all manner of criminality, ostensibly Fulani terrorists and killers, will continue unabated until our farmlands and forests are safe and secure.”
