The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared the Commander of Ebubeagu security outfit in Imo State wanted and placed a N2 million bounty on him over the alleged killing of 14 youths who attended a wedding by Ebubeagu.
The Department of State Services, DSS, classified those killed as members of ESN and not wedding guests.
The Department of State Services (DSS), however, said that those killed were members of ESN and not wedding guests.
DSS stated that the youths were killed during an exchange of fierce gunfire with a joint security team.
IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, in a statement said the Eastern Security Network, ESN, in Imo State has been given a matching order to “fish out” the Ebubeagu Commander in the state.

The statement reads in part:
“Hope Uzodinma of Imo State is killing his people in honour of his agreement with the caliphate and consistently lies to the public.
“The head of this murderous militia named Ebube-Agu in Imo State is one drug and cult leader returnee from Mozambique, Mr Izuchukwu Akuegbulanwa {Aka Ogwu}.
“As a result of his murderous terrorist activities against our people, IPOB hereby declares this Ebube-Agu Commander in Imo State wanted. He is now a wanted person in Biafra land.
“Anybody who gives useful information about him and what will lead to the capture of this murderer will get a reward of 2 million Naira from IPOB. ESN Imo State Command has also been given a matching order to look for him to account for the innocent blood of Biafrans his criminal gang has wasted.”
On the purported sit-at-home, he said “We, therefore, urge our people to ignore the meaningless and senseless order from a Nigeria Agent to sit-at-home tomorrow.
“Simon’s Ekpa has no mandate to issue a sit-at-home order using IPOB therefore our people must ignore such senseless Infiltrators rant and go about your normal business, we have no business with the criminal, the female nude seller who causes pain to the people of Biafra,” Powerful stated.
