IPOB declares Ebubeagu Commander wanted, offers N2m bounty
The Indigenous People of Biafra has announced a N2 million bounty on the Imo State Commander of the Ebubeagu security outfit.
The development was confirmed in a statement issued by the spokesman of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, on Thursday.
IPOB accused the Command of murdering 14 youths in Otulu and Awo-Mmamma area of the state.
Powerful said the Eastern Security Network in Imo State has been given the task of fishing out the Ebubeagu Commander in the state.
“Anybody who gives useful information about him and what will lead to the capture of this murderer will get a reward of 2 million Naira from IPOB. ESN Imo State Command has also been given a matching order to look for him to account for the innocent blood of Biafrans his criminal gang has wasted.”
The deceased were reportedly killed by operatives of Ebubeagu while returning from a wedding.
However, the security outfit and security agents claimed those killed were criminals.
The Department of State Services classified those killed as members of the ESN and not wedding guests.
The DSS said the youths were killed during an exchange of fierce gunfire with a joint security team.
