“Some wicked politicians and greedy individuals in Biafraland, are behind the evil agenda to create confusion and unleash mayhem on innocent people in our land. The political class is colluding with these people to sponsor the recruitment of criminals as fake ESN in their desperation to implicate IPOB and ESN.
“We are warning the youths that IPOB, is not recruiting new intakes for ESN and they should be careful and mindful of those behind the recruitment, saying that IPOB is not part of it and therefore, the people behind it are not genuine members of IPOB or ESN security outfit.
“We want to warn those involved in the fake recruitment process that they are on their own, and should be ready to bear the consequences. The leadership of IPOB has not asked anybody to recruit people for ESN.
“The general public should know that ESN is not recruiting, and should run away from being tricked by fraudsters. Anybody involved in any form of recruitment for ESN is an impostor and working for the enemies.”
