A 28-year-old Commander of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, the armed wing of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), accused of killing security agents as well as destroying private and government property in the South-East and South-South regions of the country, has revealed how his group went on a killing spree in the regions.
The suspect, identified as Emeoyiri Uzorma Benjamin, alias Onye Army, was arrested by operatives of the Force Intelligence Response Team, (IRT), over his alleged involvement in the attacks and killing of security operatives and the destruction of government and private property in Imo State also confessed to some of the attacks on security operatives on the alleged instruction of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
On how he was recruited into the ESN, Onye Army, in an interview granted yesterday, confessed that he was part of the group that attacked the Owerri Correctional Center and freed the inmates and the attack on the country home of the Imo State governor, Hope Uzordima, in retaliation to the killing of Ikonso, who he described as his top commander.
He revealed that the heads of 10 girls who they caught in Imo State, were used in preparing charms to fortify them against police bullets.
According to him, “They are not paying us any money, they said we are freedom fighters. Most of the police officers I killed were also Igbo people. I am happy that Nnamdi has been arrested. But I am begging for amnesty from the Federal Government.
