The Nigeria Police Force has described as propaganda the recently launched Eastern Security Network, saying its operatives have yet to locate any ESN official or camp in the South-East states.

However, the police added that it would not relent in monitoring and nipping in the bud crimes and suspected criminals in the region and nationwide.

A top police spokesperson, who did not want his name in print, stated this in an interview with SaharaReporters, noting that the police could not find any evidence at the moment.

"Has any of your reporters come across any ESN official on the road, or in the street or anywhere in the South-East? The police have not found anyone. It is all propaganda and publicising the propaganda will make them achieve their objective to seek popularity.

"The police are on the ground and are monitoring every development. But we have not found any ESN official or camp anywhere."

On Wednesday, the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra had posted photographs of food supplies that it would give to ESN operatives deployed to villages to flush out bandits and other criminals.

IPOB had stated that this gesture was carried out in about four local government areas of Ebonyi State.

"IPOB from four LGAs in Ebonyi North contributed (money) and bought these food items for our ESN operatives. The IPOB leaders noted that the food supplies would be utilised by the ESN operatives while defending the state against the Fulani bandits and terrorists," an ESN official had noted.

SaharaReporters had, last week, reported that the Nigerian Army's aircraft and soldiers were combing some forests in the South-East states where the ESN, recently launched by Nnamdi Kanu, is said to be camping.

From the drones and hidden cameras believed to be installed by the ESN, a video captured the Nigerian Army helicopters and their vehicles and soldiers searching for the camp of the ESN to make arrests.

Kanu, a leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, on December 12, launched the ESN, saying the regional security outfit, just like Amotekun in the South-West, would help to tackle insecurity in the region.

Misplaced priority. Banditry and terrorism have continued unabated but the janja-weed government won't see anything wrong in that after all they can't kill their own people.

Lol

They should enter .....that’s where they are

I know their camp
If FG can offer enough cash I will help them

IT IS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL, DONT EXPECT THEM TO COME AND SET THEIR STOMACH FOR YOU TO SHOOT.


IT IS THE HUNTING SEASON.



GO INTO THE BUSHES AND SAY HELLO.

Police wey never fight bokoharam dey flex power as Sherlock Hormes in searching for ESN.

Nothing cartoon no go see for Buhari hands

Go inside the bush and find them.but be ready to face the consequence.

Ghost mode! They no dey see me! Ndi ala, ndi ala, lele, nekwa fa, o ga-eme gi voom n'anya, o ga-eme gi voom n'anya!

Until you push them to be hostile, better focus on Northeast terrorist, bandits and herdsmen first

Lalasticlala

Them dey my house.

Ndi mgbu bokoharam they use una shooting practice in sambisa forest una they here they misyarn ndi zoogeria

Useless Police.


Is that what they are meant to be doing?


That is what happened when you have Alhaji as IG

See them here. Just start catching them

Zoo

in case you don't know, this is not an official statement from Nigeria police.

Why are you afraid of revealing your name and rank?
Are you suspecting that the propaganda ESN as you called them, might come for you since you are searching for them.
They don't exist, yet you are afraid of them.

The same police that are terrified and shy away from bandit camps set up in the forests by so called Fulani herdsmen. Now they are looking for ESN that is saving the people from the bandits. Nigeria is a total disgrace.

However, the should not hold back at all in exerting revenge on both the Fulani troops or the bandits if any of their men are killed.

Keep searching ode.

They're no longer searching for bandits camps it ESN they're are searching for.

with the way this country handling is going, i doubt if there is healing for her. dont create more problem for the security architecture they are already overstretched... leave ESN they are not anyone problem at the moment they are only protecting them lands and bush from invaders and possible over take by this terrorist fulani bandit..

Evidence of bad governance

Make una continue

Have you guys try searching Sambisa forest,who knows they may be there.

A misplaced priority. Nigerians know who/what is their primary problem.. no need beating about the bush!

Shameful

No be the same army wey go bush to look for ESN, them no even notice the CCTV wey ESN install for the bush. If to say ESN wan kpai them one after another, no be to activate bombs wey Dem suppose also install close to those CCTV, anytime them enter there, ESN go just dey their palour press button.
