I am not sharing this video to promote Simon Ekpa BLA; instead, I am sharing it to reveal the blackmail perpetrated by the Nigerian police against IPOB and ESN. The Nigerian government is fully aware that IPOB/ESN has no connection to Simon Ekpa and his group of autopilot and BLA. In fact, in multiple press statements, IPOB has clearly distanced itself from Simon Ekpa and his BLA armed group. However, whenever Ekpa’s BLA engage with Nigerian security forces, the police and army intentionally fail to state those who attacked them, instead resorting to blaming innocent IPOB and ESN.
This is the reason why, to this day, Nigerian security cannot overcome insecurity; they have intertwined sentiment and emotion with their profession and have neglected to apply professionalism in their duties. By refusing to confront and name those who attacked then, while continuously accusing peaceful IPOB/ESN, how can you expect to succeed in addressing insecurity? Because you have criminally chosen not to identify the individuals who attacked you. IPOB will persist in exonerating itself from your falsehoods with facts and figures, just as we are doing now.
The SOS message, written in capital letters, was sent by the Nigerian police, falsely accusing IPOB and ESN. This misleading narrative has been published by @SaharaReporters .
(“ATTACK ON POLICE OFFICERS X SUN. AUG 3, 2025 X BE INFORMED THAT AT ABOUT 1735HRS VERY CLOSE TO OKIGWE ROUNDABOUT X TWO POLICEMEN ATTACHED TO A YET TO BE IDENTIFIED HONOURABLE MEMBER WERE ATTACKED BY ESN/IPOB MILITIA AND THEIR ASSAULT RIFLES CARTED AWAY X FURTHER INFORMATION HAS IT THAT THE HONOURABLE MEMBER’S VEHICLE BROKE DOWN ALONG THE ROAD AND IN A BID TO SEEK ASSISTANCE X THESE MILITIAS OPENED FIRE ON THEM KILLING TWO POLICEMEN ON THE SPOT WHILE THE HONOURABLE MEMBER IS NOT YET ACCOUNTED FOR X FURTHER SITREP WILL BE COMMUNICATED IF THE NEED ARISES X ABOVE FOR YOUR KIND INFORMATION.”)
Meanwhile, Simon Ekpa BLA, who confronted Nigerian security, has released a video claiming responsibility for the attack.
Shame on Nigerian security; your lies against IPOB and ESN have once again been exposed. The world will continue to see you as liars. Shame!
Watch Ekpa group claim the said attack
