The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has launched an outfit known as the Eastern Security Network for the southern region.

In a statement on Sunday, IPOB Spokesman, EMMA POWERFUL said the objective of the security network is to protect the south-east and south-south from criminal activities and terrorist attacks.

According to POWERFUL, the outfit is a replica of Amotekun launched by the governors of the south-west to curb insecurity in that region.

The spokesman said the security outfit became necessary following what he described as the “failure” of the governors of the south-east and south-south to put in place measures that will protect the people in those regions.
