Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu says there is an organised terror group in Lagos State.
The IPOB leader also said the Miyetti Allah in Ebonyi State was functioning as a terror group for years until the Eastern Security Network (ESN) single-handedly drove them out of the state.

Amid the notion that the Eastern Security Network, ESN, was established to attack security operatives and formations, IPOB commander, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has insisted that the group has not been involved in any criminal activity.
DAILY POST recalls that Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, on December 13, launched the ESN security outfit due to the rising insecurity in the region.
According to Kanu, ESN was established to defend the people of the Eastern region from terrorists and bandits allegedly trooping in from the North.
However, it has been observed that activities of the ESN in the region particularly in Imo State have worsened security issues as they were several times accused of launching attacks on security operatives in both the South-East and South-South regions.

We have a terror group in Lagos now – Nnamdi Kanu claims
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi
Kanu, has claimed that there is an organised terror group in Lagos State.
Kanu also alleged that Miyetti Allah was functioning as a
terror group in Ebonyi State, until the Eastern Security Network (ESN) chased
them out of the state.
“Miyetti Allah was a full-fledged terror group in Ebonyi,
but IPOB and ESN drove them out, that’s why the DSS (Department of State
Services) is labelling ESN a terrorist group, because we forbade Fulani
murderers on our ancestral lands.
