The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) asserted on Thursday that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is extorting its members prior to the Supreme Court case involving its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The organisation made the assertion while denying rumours that police had stormed camps belonging to the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in the states of Imo and Anambra.
IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful emphasised that, in contrast to what has been reported, ESN does not have any camps in the region.

To show that the Nigerian security forces are carrying out their duties, the organisation issued a warning and asked them to quit blackmailing IPOB and ESN.
The statement reads in part, “As expected, Nigeria Police Force started their blackmail against IPOB as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s case at the Supreme Court of Nigeria is approaching this Friday.
“Their fabricated and fallacious claims of raiding ESN camp is a lie and propaganda targeted at blackmailing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu before the Supreme Court judgment on Friday, December 15, 2023. Moreso, to put fears on Ndigbo who are coming home for the Christmas season.
“It is unfortunate that the Nigerian government with her amateur blackmailer Security Forces can easily be predicted.
“What has stopped Nigeria Joint Security Forces from invading the known camps of those criminals if they are not working together?

“We are warning the Nigeria Compromised Security Forces to stop blackmailing ESN and IPOB to prove they are working. No ESN camp was involved in the shambolic attack as claimed by Nigeria joint Security Forces.
“Enough of the Nigeria Police unfounded blackmail against IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is enough. The release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Supreme Court on December 15, 2023, is both sacrosanct and paramount.”
