 IPOB Reveals Source of Funding for Its Security Operatives


The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has disclosed that its security wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), is financed through voluntary donations and contributions from supporters across the globe.


This clarification comes in response to recent claims by the Nigerian Army, which announced the recovery of N11 million and $21,000 during an operation it said was carried out at an ESN camp in Ugwunagbo Local Government Area of Abia State.


In a statement issued by IPOB’s spokesperson, Comrade Emma Powerful, the group firmly denied the existence of any such camp or the presence of large cash sums, describing the military’s report as “false and misleading.”


“If IPOB possessed such funds, they would be invested in developmental programs such as our Agricultural Revolution project,” the group stated. It further explained that all financial resources are used transparently and directed toward community-oriented initiatives.


IPOB emphasized that ESN operatives are volunteers committed to defending local communities from criminal elements, particularly in rural areas where farmers face ongoing security threats.


The group called on the public to question unverified reports and urged security agencies to demonstrate greater professionalism and objectivity in their communications.
