The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called on Igbo to come back home for the Christmas and New year celebration, promising adequate protection by its vigilante outfit, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, in a statement, said the South East is peaceful and will remain so even after the yuletide.
His statement read in part: “We also encourage our people who wish to return home to enjoy the Christmas season as usual, with the assurance that ESN Operatives will provide a peaceful atmosphere during the festive period.
“Alaigbo is a very peaceful region. IPOB encourages our people to contribute our best to ensuring that Alaigbo remains peaceful. We need peace to thrive as a strategic economic hub in Africa. Every Igbo man and woman must work towards peace and security in Alaigbo.

“Alaigbo can’t be allowed to be in disarray while other regions seem to enjoy peace and security, even if they are not exactly peaceful.
“IPOB will provide security for the land of Biafra. IPOB has called on Ndigbo to return their investments home to encourage more development for employment for Biafran youths. We are committed to making sure that the investments are secure.
“To this effect, IPOB cautions the criminal elements to stay off Alaigbo, particularly during this Christmas season. IPOB volunteers and ESN Operatives are working hard to make Biafra Land uncomfortable and unworkable to both state sponsored and common criminals.
“The ESN Operatives will help to provide security across Biafran bushes and forests so that criminals will not use our bushes as a safe haven for their nefarious activities. All Biafrans are free to contact ESN Operatives when the need arises using the published security information contact numbers,” Powerful stated.
