The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has cautioned the people of the South East against promoting the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), particularly through social media.
Speaking during a community engagement in Omor, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, General Musa stressed that the spread of unverified information not only endangers the region but also poses a threat to national unity and peace.
The CDS, represented by Group Captain Ibrahim Bukar, Deputy Director of Defence Media Operations, visited the Obi Eze Ana-Uku, Eze Igulube of Omor, as part of a people-centric diplomatic outreach within the Operation Udoka Area of Responsibility.
General Musa stated that IPOB’s actions are detrimental not just to the South East, but to Nigeria as a whole, and should not be supported in any form.
He strongly condemned the trend of circulating false or harmful narratives pushed by IPOB and other outlawed groups, emphasizing that restoring security in the region requires the active cooperation of the local population.
