The people of the communities where these criminals camped knew that those people perpetrating criminalities in their communities are not ESN operatives or IPOB volunteers. IPOB and ESN operatives are freedom fighters and not criminals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nigerian government and its Security Agencies should do themselves a favor and stop linking ESN\/IPOB into their gimmicks and antics of criminality. We are an upright freedom fighting movement focused on the peaceful restoration of Biafra Nation through a UN supervised referendum when common sense finally prevails among the Nigeria government handlers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing criminal elements to impersonate and blackmail IPOB\u2019s self-determination movement are efforts in futility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
