ESN and IPOB Disclaim The Alleged Female Executioner
The Eastern Security Network (ESN), the military wing of IPOB, has claimed that Amaka Onah, a 22-year-old female executioner who was detained by the Nigerian Army and identified as a member, is a member of IPOB.
Following her arrest in Imo State, the purported executioner reportedly admitted to have already killed five people.
However, in a statement released on Thursday by IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the secessionist organisation insisted that Onah was not an ESN member and claimed that her arrest and confession were a ruse to discredit the group.
The statement partly read, “From the so-called confessional statement of the purported female executioner, she claimed to have joined ESN four months ago, shows that she was handed a very poor script because IPoB stopped the recruitment of ESN operatives since 2020 before our leader formally inaugurated ESN in December 2020.

“After the inauguration, there has not been any recruitment of new ESN operatives. IPoB has announced severally via Radio Biafra, Press releases and other media outlets that it has stopped recruitment of new operatives into ESN.”
Describing the scenario as a “Nollywood movie”, IPOB stated that it will not be intimidated.
ESN said, “Nigerian government should know by now that IPoB can neither be frightened by the ‘Nollywood’ movies they are acting in nor can they be blackmailed because they are highly predictable and we know their game plans even before they are executed.
