The so-called Onyearmy said he joined ESN in 2019 while ESN was established in December 12th 2020 it exposed them that they coached him to be talking rubbish statements against ESN, IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cWe want to make it clear that the purported ESN Commander is not known to us and we discovered that he is a mole planted by the Government and security agencies into ESN. We know our commanders and they know us. The so called man must be one of the criminals recruited by the Department of State Services to infiltrate ESN but our gallant men were at alert and smarter than the DSS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IPOB accused Onye Army of being a saboteur planted by the Department of State Services, DSS, to assassinate Ikonso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is obvious that the so-called ESN Commander and his likes were the saboteurs planted by DSS to assassinate our gallant Ikonso. After killing Ikonso, they are now trying to concoct a tale to implicate our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not surprised that Nigeria took back their mole after the death of Ikonso the unit commander whom the so called Onyearmy spied over before his death. This Onyearmy was nowhere to be seen after the death of Ikonso, where did he get the information that our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gave the order for 2000 heads to bury Ikonso because he was not in the camp again from that day he gave Ikonso out to Nigeria security service, and can he provide parents of those thirteen virgins he confessed to during his interrogation?.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Nigerian security agencies must stop using fake news and propaganda to demoralize IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and ESN because we don\u2019t kill who is not terrorists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday, denied claims that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu authorized the killings of 10 girls for rituals and power and to bury Ikonso with&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
