Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has called for calm over the worry being expressed in many quarters on a possible clash between the Eastern Security Network, ESN, an outfit established by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the about to be launched outfit by the South-East Governors, Ebubeagu.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the Governors at their meeting in Owerri, the Imo State Capital on Sunday, announced the formation of the regional security network.<\/p>\n

But the development has attracted concerns among the residents of the zone over a possible clash between the two outfits.<\/p>\n

The IPOB has also come out to warn that any operative of the Ebubeagu who spied on ESN would meet their doom.<\/p>\n

Reacting, the Secretary-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro advised against in-fighting, stating that there was need for a collaboration to protect the region. a<\/p>\n

He said Ohanaeze \u201csupports any security attempt or arrangements that will help Ndigbo to curb the nefarious activities and violent killings in the Southeast by the murderous extremists- killer herdsmen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe accept both the Ebubeagu \u2018Security Network\u2019 (ESN) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN), as both were craftily designed for the territorial security of Southeast and should be supported by every Igbo man.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a blessing in disguise that Southeast has two security networks against a common enemy- killer herdsmen\/terrorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the organization was aware of \u201cthe desperation exhibited by external detractors trying to foist crisis, distrust the process and create egocentric tussles between IPOB\u2019s Eastern Security Network and Southeast Governors\u2019 Ebubeagu Security Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cOhanaeze Ndigbo congratulates both the Southeast Governors and the IPOB on their attempts to forestall further killings and violence in the Southeast. We will tirelessly enforce understanding and harmony between all stakeholders in the Southeast on the need for peaceful coexistence between \u201cESN and Ebubeagu\u201d in defending territorial integrity of Southeast.\u201d<\/p>\n

Security is local, every Igbo man should understand the perilous situation Igbos are in for. Ohanaeze will stop any rivalry between ESN and Ebubeagu Security Networks; we will unite them as sister organizations aimed at solving insecurity challenges in Southeast.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdigbo should support both groups and there should be synergy with all security formations in the Southeast to end banditry,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
