ESN: No Retreat No Surrender – IPOB Says as Military Helicopter Combs Orlu

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, have said that it’s not going to give up any inch of it’s ancestral home to Fulani marauders.

In some viral video, the military helicopter was seen patrolling Orlu in Imo State and allegedly in search of operatives of the Eastern Security Network.

In the video, the aerial bombardments on Thursday surfaced with fresh tension and anxiety building in the communities.

“Nigerian soldiers are currently conducting aerial strikes in our areas. Many innocent lives may be lost. They are probably looking for ESN operatives who are checking the activities of killer Fulani herdsmen,” a community head told SaharaReporters.

“People’s homes and market places may be affected. We don’t need aircraft in Orlu. They should go and find the stolen school pupils in Niger State,” another angry resident said.

“I have the video. There was an aircraft firing shots possibly in a nearby bush. Very reckless of the airforce; civilians are all over the place,” another person said.

The IPOB said that the Nigerian army has thrown the gauntlet and it has accepted the challenge as it was ready to safeguard the Igbo land from Fulani militias.
