The leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has finally revealed the ‘Deputy Commanders’ of the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Recall that the Nigerian Army had announced the successful capture of one Awurum Eze, who is reportedly an IPOB second-in-command and ESN leader.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the spokesman for the Nigerian Army, Mohammed Yerima, the IPOB commander was arrested by security operatives in Aba, Abia State.

Yerima said Eze is understood to be the only one apart from the late Ikonso who has a direct line of communication with Kanu.
Reacting to the development, Nnamdi Kanu said that the Governors of Ebonyi and Enugu states, Dave Umahi and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi are ‘ESN Deputy Commanders’.
In a tweet via his Twitter handle on Thursday, the IPOB leader noted that Eze was not a member of the group, adding that he is too old to be part of ESN.
Nnamdi Kanu, however, berated the army for using a picture of him and Eze to justify the arrest.

He tweeted; “Since standing beside or taking a photo with me makes you an #ESN “deputy commander”, perhaps the very preeminent & foremost constitutional lawyer, Prof. Nwabueze, @DaveUmahi, & Gov. Ugwuanyi are all #ESN deputy commanders.”
“@HQNigerianArmy exhibiting their usual idiocy. #ZOO”
