We’ll Make ESN Work With Ebube Agu – Iwuanyanwu

Elder statesman and Chairman, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council –
Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has called for synergy and collaboration
between the newly floated South East Security Outfit code-named
Ebube Agu and the IPOB’s Eastern Security Network (ESN) to tackle
the current security challenges in the region.

Iwuanyanwu, who spoke to newsmen in Owerri said that it is
imperative for the Ebubeagu whose idea was jointly mooted in 2019
by the leadership of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and governors of the
Southeast to establish an intelligence department.

The elder statesman advised the two security outfits to share
information with the South West, South-South and other neighbouring
regions of the Southeast, and invest heavily in intelligence
gathering to find out reasons behind persistent insurgence in the
region.

“The elders of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo will work towards getting the
IPOB-ESN to work with the Ebubeagu because we want a situation
where all hands should be on deck to protect the region from
bandits and terrorists.

I would not want to believe that IPOB-ESN is responsible for
what is now happening in the South East because IPOB ESN is made up
of Igbo and as such, they cannot just come and start killing their
fellow Igbo men”.

He insisted that the greatest threat to the nation’s security
are the Boko Haram sect and the Islamic State of West Africa
(ISWA).

He also urged the federal government to set up a panel of
inquiry to ascertain the whereabouts of the Air-force plane that
recently disappeared and that crashed, lamenting that the nation
appears not to appreciate the magnitude of the problem confronting
her.
