The Igbos in Nigeria Movement (INM) has condemned the killing of innocent citizens during a reported clash between the Nigerian security forces and members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) on Monday in Orlu, Imo State.
Recall that the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, had in December announced the formation of the ESN, which has extensively recruited youths into its fold.

In a statement signed by Mazi Dike Christopher, its Director of Mobilization and Enlightenment, the INM said “the sole purpose of the ECN is to instigate violence, create chaos and carry out nefarious activities that would lead to loss of lives and destruction of properties.
According to Christopher, “Monday’s incident in Orlu again brings Nnamdi Kanu’s mission to disrupt peace in the South-East and parts of the South-South to the fore.
The INM, therefore, called on all Nigerians and the international community to condemn the killings as the “height of rascality exhibited by IPOB terrorists and its affiliates”.
