Stop promoting IPOB activities on social media – CDS to South-East residents


The Chief of Defence Staff, CDS, General Christopher Musa, has warned the people of the South-East against propagating the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network, ESN, on the social media.Musa, while speaking at a community engagement in Omor, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, stressed that the spread of unverified information not only endangers the region but also poses a threat to national unity and peace.

Represented by Group Captain Ibrahim Bukar, Deputy Director of Defence Media Operations, the CDS visited the Obi Eze Ana-Uku, Eze Igulube of Omor, as part of a people-centric diplomatic outreach within the Operation Udoka Area of Responsibility.

The defence chief stated that IPOB’s actions are detrimental not just to the South East, but to Nigeria as a whole, and should not be supported in any form.

The CDS condemned the trend of circulating false or harmful narratives pushed by IPOB and other outlawed groups, stressing that restoring security in the region requires the active cooperation of the local population.

“People should have trust in the military, because the military belongs to them. They should always provide us with actionable information.

“When you see something, say something. It is only through such cooperation that we can effectively tackle insecurity and restore peace,” he said.

He reassured the community of the military’s impartial role in maintaining peace and order.
