There are reports that the South East has launched the Eastern Security Network, its own vigilante group.
Tagged Eastern Security Network (ESN), the group is said to have been launched by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB.
It comprises of able bodied young men, ready to tackle any incidence of banditry within the region.
Kanu said during the launch in a facebook broadcast that the South East and South South governors had failed the Igbos.
The failures according to him have resulted in killings by bandits and herdsmen.
Nnamdi Kanu likens the Eastern Security Network to the Amotekun of the South West.
Part of his message reads:
“We are going to announce our preparedness to defend our land of Biafra, having to wait for many years for our governors in our land, the entire South East and South South to do what our counterparts in Yoruba land did and even what the terrorist Myetti Allah managed to do which our governors have failed to do till this very day.
Nnamdi Kanu is the leader of the disbanded #IPOB. He has been declared wanted and is currently leading from exile.
