Alleged female executioner not ESN member - IPOB - Punch Newspapers

The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria

The Indigenous People of Biafra has distanced itself from a 22-year-old female executioner, identified as Amaka Onah, who was arrested by the Nigerian Army and labelled a member of IPOB’s military outfit, the Eastern Security Network.

The alleged executioner, following her arrest in Imo State, had reportedly confessed to killing five persons so far. But in a statement by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Thursday, the secessionist group maintained that Onah was not a member of ESN, alleging that her arrest and confession was a ploy to discredit the group.

The statement partly read, “From the so-called confessional statement of the purported female executioner, she claimed to have joined ESN four months ago, shows that she was handed a very poor script because IPoB stopped the recruitment of ESN operatives since 2020 before our leader formally inaugurated ESN in December 2020.
