Also, the former Inspector General of Police, IGP, Muhammed Adamu had accused IPOB of recently attacking the Imo State Police Headquarters and the correctional centre in Owerri which led to the release of over 1,800 inmates.<\/p>\n

But the IPOB leader, in a tweet on his official Twitter page on Tuesday, said the ESN only attacks terrorists who kill regardless of tribe or religion.<\/p>\n

According to him, those against the goal of the ESN should be regarded as terrorists or slaves.<\/p>\n

\u201cEastern Security Network is not after PEOPLE or any tribe\/religion.<\/p>\n

\u201cESN is after TERRORISTS because terrorists kill people, regardless of tribe\/religion.<\/p>\n
