Chukwuemeka Ezeife, former governor of Anambra state, says the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) are not behind the violent attacks in the south-east.

There have been several attacks on police stations, prisons and the offices of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the south-east.

Security operatives and residents have been killed, and in a recent development, Ahmed Gulak, former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, was murdered in Imo on May 30.

Speaking when he featured on Arise TV on Wednesday, Ezeife said investigation carried out by elders in the south-east revealed that such attacks are designed to provoke Igbo people.

While noting that killing and destruction do not conform to the Igbo character, he said some of the attacks may have been carried out by people outside the region.

“Anybody who hears the story will be mad at the story. But who are the people who are burning INEC offices? Who are killing the police? There is the impression that some people, maybe even in the government, are guilty of organising such things and blaming it on IPOB and ESN. Efforts have been made by our elders of our people to find out the truth and the hands of IPOB and ESN are not there,” he said.

“I am sure you know that at Owerri prison, there was a lot of devastation and the IG of police blamed it immediately on IPOB and ESN. Even the governor of that state at the beginning thought it was the IPOB and ESN, but now we know that more than 80 percent of people caught by the CCTV footage are not from the south-east or even the east at all.

“Now, Gulak is dead. Was it a design again to blow it on IPOB and the ESN? We are learning more now that there is a design to provoke the east. Igbo do not have the tradition of shedding blood or burning down things.”

Ezeife is right and also wrong.
Let me explain, Ezeife cannot swear that IPOB/ESN have not carried out any attack on anybody (security operatives inclusive) in Igbo land. In this vein he is completely wrong.

He is right in the sense that he believes the certain people in high places are sponsoring these killings to the give the SE a bad name: a case of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.
They will hinge their argument on the fact that there are unrests in the SE to send down troops there, we all can imagine how it will play out...what's happening in Imo is just the tip of an iceberg. The security agents will hinge on this and embark on a killing spree, arresting, maiming, torturing and detaining unarmed young men because we all know that they can't confront their matched counterpart ESN.

You will love to hate these people because of their hypocrisy, aswearugad

When this madness started, the so called elders in the East lost their voice, a subtle way of showing . Buhari was mute as it went on for weeks..Now it has gotten out of control,,many indigenes have lost their lives through the arms wielded by these untrained children.., they begin to blame FG, Fulani herdsmen and all of their "nightmares"...

Buhari being the responsible leader that he is, promised to speak the language these "herdsmen", "DSS" understands..the Igbos began to tag UN, Jack, ECOWAS etc...crying genocide, massacre, and every misused English word in their region...

Abeg, what can you ever do that please these people?

I do agree that most Nigerians are at a high risk of mental illness. But, the victims don't realize it.

Hypocrisy is when bandits are paid ransom, Boko Haram given scholarships and Fulani herdsmen given license to kill at will while unarmed protesters protesting for their sovereignty are slaughtered and termed 'terrorists'.
Hypocrisy is when a tribalist like BinHari appoints his kinsmen to head over 98% of all agencies and parastatals.This the height of hypocrisy.
While I don't the shedding of blood, I must tell you that injustice breeds anarchy.

Papa, nah true you dey talk

Is this the reason you have picked up arms? I thought the white bearded goat, Ezeife and other confused leaders in your region said it can't be IPoB carrying out all the killings. So you expect to be "pampered" like Boko Haram? You cry marginalisation even at that?

You deserve to be flogged mercilessly

He must be one of their patrons to spew this rubbish.
Who ask him?
Is he the one killing security and razing their/INEC offices in the south east?
The government know who they are looking for.
Lovers of evil.

Igbos want to get Biafra true lies, thats a trait of cowards.Ikonso the dead terrorist isnt Igbo,he is a Fulani herdsman

Jesuschristus:

BinHari and the entire northerners want 'One Nigeria' with truth. They are the symbol of truism and that's the trait of heroes.

So, you ipob terrorists and unknown gunmen are massacring your own ibo people, burning up and destroying their homes and businesses, attacking onion trucks and stealing onions, destroying public institutions and oil installations all because you dey ealousy bandits collecting ransom?

You scarcely made sense. What you typed is barely coherent. Allow IPOB kill their people and concentrate on Boko Haram.

He is right thank God the people behind the killing are die like chicken.

If only our elites can lend a voice and forfeit the money they're receiving from Abuja, then the land of the rising sun will become an immediate reality..

But we'll keep the struggle on, well never give up



God bless The Land Of The Rising Sun
God bless MNK!

Giving the killings of high profiled people by the beast they failed to curb, this one is now scared of his life and wants to be in the good book of the terrorists. This is the same way the Imo governor, who doesn't have the mandate of his people, has been running from pillar to post tweaking the truth to remain in the good book of the terrorists. Unfortunately for him, it's a failed cause.

This foolish old man has suddenly identified the faces of masked gunmen from CCTV camera to be that of his neighbours and not his own people.

He's blind to the atrocities of his own people. Where he persuades them or not, the particular beast has now grown and it would consume him and his people.

Is it now Southwest or Northerners that is spilling the blood

Yet you alone has thousands of Monika Mr canceller.


Irony of life

In essence he's saying the FG are the ones sponsoring bandits, terrorist and kidnappers in the north?

Like how can you tell the tribe of a person just by looking at the person via CCTV footage? I'm sure this and other load of garbage is what people like Emeka Ezeife will tell themselves just to the endless bloodshed being carried out by Unknown Gunmen.

I'm pretty sure the elders who found out that nonsense about IPOB and ESN not being responsible, are as irresponsible as IPOB and ESN put together. They sure know how to investigate more than the police.

Let them keep ing IPOB and ESN, one day they will wake up and bite their tongues.

Ezeife said investigation carried out by elders in the south-east revealed that such attacks are designed to provoke Igbo people.

There is no way south east elders won’t be bias with their investigation.

Lies

Yes

Bloody Igbos should know their place

truth. how can people that always refer humans as MMADU= meaning beauty of life kill a fly.
But don't push them to the wall or threaten their existence
