The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the Nigerian government can put an end to the activities of Eastern Security Network, ESN, if Miyetti Allah is banned and open grazing abolished.
In a statement, the spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful said ESN would continue to defend the Southeast if Miyetti Allah is not banned.
IPOB said Nigerians should be grateful to its leader, Nnamdi Kanu and ESN for preventing the activities of killer herders from the Sahel.
The statement reads partly: “The sole purpose for the existence of ESN is to checkmate the excesses of these killer herdsmen from the Sahel and to ensure that no inch of the Land of the Ancients (Igboland) is forcibly taken over and occupied by killers disguised as herdsmen.
“Not many people in Nigeria today know that a sizeable chunk of Yoruba land, Oyo State in particular is under forcible occupation by these killer herdsmen from the North. This was what some Yoruba agitators were fighting against or have we all forgotten?
“Today no Yoruba man would dare enter a forest renamed Gambari in Oyo State that is the heart of the Yoruba race. Is Gambari a Yoruba name? Tiv people of Benue today have forfeited their ancestral land which has long been renamed Katsina Ala
