The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to the claims by the Nigerian Army that it arrested the second-in-command of the late Ikonso Don in Aba, Abia State on Wednesday.

Ikonso was said to be a top commander of IPOB’s security arm, Eastern Security Network (ESN).

According to the IPOB, the man the security agents claimed to have arrested is too fragile to be an operative of the Eastern Security Network, not alone being the second-in-command to Ikonso.

The Biafra separatist group stated that it would not deny if truly the security agencies captured or killed any ESN member just as it confirmed the death of the late Ikonso.

However, it added that the Nigerian Army and its sister agents are fond of deceiving Nigerians to attract shameful compliments.

The group stated this in a statement by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful on Thursday.
