fortification rituals, attacked
Imo prison, police stations –
ESN commander
Afeez Hanafi 3 July 2021
Kindly share this story:
ESN commander, Emeoyiri Benjamin

A commander of the Eastern Security Network, the
paramilitary arm of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, Emeoyiri Benjamin, has stated his roles in
some bloody attacks allegedly carried out by the
group in Imo State.
The 28-year-old suspect dubbed Onye Army also
explained how he and his gang members fortified
themselves with charms prepared with heads of 10
young girls abducted in the state.
Benjamin was apprehended recently by operatives
of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence
Response Team deployed in Imo.
Narrating his criminal escapades, Benjamin said
that he joined ESN in 2020 and was trained in a
camp for two weeks.
He said that he participated in the attacks on
Owerri Correctional Centre, Imo Police Command
headquarters, Orlu Police Station and the country
home of the state Governor, Hope Uzodimma.
Several inmates escaped during the prison break,
while a policeman was killed in the governor’s
residence in Omuma, Oru East Local Government
Area of the state, and vehicles vandalised.
He said the group attacked Uzodimma’s house to
avenge the killing of one Ikonso, who he described
as a top ESN commander.

Benjamin stated, “I am from Uzombe town in
Uguta, Imo State. I was in the village in 2019 when
one John approached me. He knew I had been
looking for a military job without success so he
advised me to join IPOB. I was attending IPOB
meetings in Orlu every Sunday. I attended the
meeting until November 2020 when Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu formed the ESN.
“I volunteered to join the ESN and I was trained
with many others from different parts of the
country in a camp close to the Niger Bridge. Before
I went to the camp, I was living in a church in Orlu
owned by Nwachukwu. While at the camp, we were
given military training and our phones were
seized from us.
“After our training we were given boots and
uniforms and asked to go back to our various state
commanders. My state commander was the late
Ikonso. We were not given any money. When I got
back to Imo State, I reported back to the church
which served as one of our camps at that time.
Then, we got an order that there shouldn’t be any
police or military checkpoints in the South-East. All
the ESN state commanders asked their fighters to
comply with the order. I also obeyed the order
because I have taken an oath.”

Benjamin said they first attacked a police
checkpoint in Orlu during which a policeman and
two of his members were killed in a gun battle.
He explained that policemen busted their camp in
Orlu and they relocated to Anambra State, where
they continued attacks on police stations and
checkpoints.
He added, “Ikonso, one Engineer Mike and Temple
organised the attack on the Owerri Prison and Imo
State Police Command headquarters. We stole 50
police rifles. We were over 100 fighters who went
for the operation but on our way back, some
soldiers attacked us and many of our fighters were
killed.
“We carried out a few other attacks on security
formations in Imo and Anambra states before
Ikonso was killed in his residence. After his death,
we burnt the governor’s house and killed a
security man.”

The suspect said they had killed 30 persons so far
in vengeance of Ikonso’s killing and attacked Orlu
Police Division to free their members detained at
the station.
He said, “We went in 10 vehicles. We tied white
and red clothes on our bodies for protection
against bullets. We prepared the charms with the
heads of 10 young girls.
“Temple and Mike came up with the suggestion to
use the girls for the charms and we abducted them
in Imo State. Unfortunately, before we got to the
Orlu Police Station, a police armoured vehicle
attacked us and killed 12 of our fighters and
injured four others.”
