Gen Musa Waarns: Stop Using Social Media to Promote IPOB—It’s Threatening Nigeria
The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has issued a strong warning to residents of the South East against supporting or promoting the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), especially through social media platforms.
Speaking during a community engagement visit in Omor, Anambra East LGA, Anambra State, General Musa—represented by Group Captain Ibrahim Bukar, Deputy Director of Defence Media Operations—highlighted the dangers of spreading unverified and misleading information online. He noted that such actions not only endanger the region but also threaten Nigeria’s unity and national peace.
As part of a people-focused outreach within the Operation Udoka Area of Responsibility, the Defence Chief met with the Obi Eze Ana-Uku, Eze Igulube of Omor, emphasizing the military’s commitment to restoring lasting peace and security in the South East.
General Musa made it clear that IPOB’s activities are harmful to both the region and the country at large, and should be firmly rejected. He condemned the growing trend of spreading false narratives pushed by outlawed groups, urging citizens to be vigilant and responsible.
“People need to have trust in their military,” he said. “The military belongs to the people. We rely on you to give us credible information—when you see something, say something. Together, we can overcome insecurity and bring peace back to our communities.”
He assured the people that the military remains neutral in all conflicts and is solely focused on protecting law-abiding citizens.
“Our mission is not to take sides,” he added. “We are only after criminal elements. Our job is to ensure peace and safeguard the lives and properties of innocent Nigerians.”
General Musa also reaffirmed the Armed Forces’ dedication to fulfilling their constitutional duty to protect the nation, adding that peace and security are vital foundations for national development and economic growth.
In his response, the traditional ruler of Omor, Eze Igulube, praised the military’s consistent efforts in maintaining peace in the area. He expressed gratitude for the improved security situation, saying the presence of the Armed Forces has brought relief to the community.
“Our people are farmers, peace-loving and hospitable,” the monarch said. “We deeply appreciate the courage and dedication of your personnel. We are ready to provide accurate intelligence to help your operations and keep our land safe.”
He pledged the full support of the community in the ongoing efforts to restore peace and security across the South East.
