The group described as false claims by the Army that it raided ESN hideouts in Amangwu community of the State, in an attempt to rescue an abducted soldier, Staff Sergeant Bassey Ikunugwan.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful, IPOB insisted that ESN operatives do not have any camp in Amangwu Ohafia.
It stressed that if there is any such camp in the area, it is not ESN camp, adding that the armed gang at the camp is not working for the group.
The separatist group maintained that its security camps are secured and sacred territories, while its outfit constitutes disciplined gallant men and women who don’t indulge in kidnapping and ransom.
