Nnamdi Kanu vows to rid southeast of criminality

Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has restated the commitment of his group to rid the Biafran region of all forms of criminality until its farmlands and forests were safe and secure.

Kanu, in a statement on Monday, also praised the Eastern Security Network (ESN) for the successful capture of Mohammed Isa and his gang who, he said has been terrorising peaceful farming communities in Benue and nearby states.

He warned Miyetti Allah and their sympathisers to steer clear of all farmlands and forests in the zone.

The statement reads: “I commend men and women of the Northern Command of the EASTERN SECURITY NETWORK (ESN) for the successful capture of Mohammed Isa the notorious leader of bandits and killers in the Lower Benue.

“This individual and his gang of murderers have been terrorising peaceful farming communities in Benue and nearby states.

“I reiterate my warning to Miyetti Allah and their sympathisers in Aso Rock that our noble quest to rid our land of all manner of criminality, ostensibly terrorists and killers, will continue unabated until our farmlands and forests are safe and secure.”
