The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has assured institutions, especially banks that the group has no plans to attack them.
The group stated this while refuting an allegation credited to the Department of State Services that IPOB intends to attack commercial banks to cart away money to procure arms.
Emma Powerful, IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary in a statement described the allegation as a poor script intended to dent their global reputation.
He said, “We are not looking for money to buy arms because we produce our arms locally.
According to him, IPO members are freedom fighters rather than criminal elements.
The statement partly read, “The DSS is propelling this wicked propaganda to blackmail Eastern Security Network and IPOB and dent our global reputation.
“IPOB and ESN are not criminals and we have no plans or agenda to touch any institution, particularly banks.
“We are not looking for money to buy arms because we produce our arms locally and cannot attack or kidnap anybody for ransom.
“We don’t inflict pains on the people. We are fighting for their freedom. DSS must stop this rubbish and engage their time on something more meaningful. This poor script cannot fly… ESN has never left its mandate, which is to defend Biafra land against Fulani terrorists and killer herdsmen.”
The statement added, “All banks in Biafraland must be wary of the DSS because they may be planning to sponsor attacks on banks and turn around, as usual, to blame it on IPOB and ESN.”
