The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has threatened Senate Chief Whip Orji Kalu for calling for an end to the Eastern Security Network (ESN), an armed group of the IPOB.
IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful said on Monday in a statement that the former governor of Abia State would pay for any attack on ESN operatives in the south-east henceforth.
“IPOB has nothing with anybody issuing such a threat, but Orji Uzor Kalu has given us a time frame, and we are ready for him and his co-travellers who will be coming to us. Orji Uzor Kalu will pay after the attack because he will understand that IPOB is not a pushover,” the statement said.
“Many unscrupulous governors and elements from the East have tried in the past to neutralise ESN so that their Caliphate Masters will send their terrorists in to occupy our land but did not succeed and ended up slaughtering innocent citizens.
“This time around Orji Uzor Kalu will bear the brunt of whatever he does because we must confront him and those he wished to use to attack IPOB-ESN in those local governments of Ohafia, Isiukwuato, Umunneochi, and Bende he mentioned in his viral videos showing on social media.
“Anybody who knows Orji Uzor Kalu, his associates, friends, and family must advise him to stay off activities of ESN because he brought Fulani terrorists in our land during his time as Abia State Governor, but if he continues, he should write down his will for his family.
“Orji Uzor Kalu, a stooge of the Fulani Caliphate should ask himself why the Caliphate has not used fighter jets against the terrorists and Bandits in the North. Yet he wants to use the enemy’s fighter jets to bomb ESN who protect his mothers and sisters in our forests and bushes from invading Fulani terrorists.”
