Instead, it said hoodlums being sponsored by politicians in the state were behind the attack.

IPOB said it is worrisome that killings and other criminal acts perpetrated in the South East were blamed on its security arm Eastern Security network (ESN).

‘It’s unfortunate that uninformed and gullible citizens in Imo state will tomorrow begin to blame these killings to IPOB.’
