The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPoB) has accused the Nigeria Air Force (NAF) of telling lies about bombing members of the group and those of its armed branch, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Anambra and Imo.
A statement by IPoB’s publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, said that if it is true that the NAF bombed any camp in South East, such camp belongs to criminal groups claiming to be Biafra agitators.
The IPoB mocked the NAF, noting that if the Force has functioning fighter jets to bomb criminal hideouts in the rainforest of the South East, they should not have wasted time in bombing terrorists and bandits who are in the open in the desert lands of the North, killing and kidnapping people including secondary school children.

IPoB’s statement read, “The movement and global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has debunked the claims by the Nigerian Air force of bombing IPoB’s ESN camps at Orsumoghu in Nnewi South LGA Anambra State and Nnewi South LGA and Aku in Ihube Okigwe, in Imo State.
“However, as much as we detest the criminals impersonating IPoB and ESN in their violent activities in the name of Biafra struggle, we nevertheless condemn the bombing of any part of Biafra land by the Nigeria Air force.
“If the Nigeria Air force has functioning fighter jets to bomb criminal hideouts in the rainforest of the Southeast, why then have they not bombed terrorists and bandits who are in the open in the desert lands of the North, killing kidnapping people as well as Secondary School children.
“We wish to remind the Nigerian government and the Nigerian Air force that some communities in the Northern Region of Nigeria are under the control of Boko Haram, ISWAP terrorists, and Fulani bandits, who are moving freely, abducting school children and farmers, while their State Governors and the Federal Government of Nigeria are negotiating with the criminals and bandits.”
