IPOB Terror Group Can’t Stop Election In South-East – Military

Despite threats from some groups of people, the military will ensure that the elections in 2023 take place peacefully throughout the country, including in the South-East states, according to Chief of Defence Staff Gen. Lucky Irabor.

On Monday, February 13, the defense chief made this comment while addressing at the 25th President Buhari (PMB) Scorecard Series event in Abuja.

Irabor stated that no individual or organization can prevent the elections in response to a question regarding the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) faction led by Simon Ekpa’s threat that the South East will be placed under lockdown both before and after the elections.

“The armed forces is working in concert with the Police and other security agencies to ensure that the menace of criminalities from IPOB and Eastern Security Network are eliminated,” he said

Irabor also corroborated the position of the Defence Minister that ?no territory of Nigeria is under the control of the Boko Haram or any other terrorist groups.? He said all communities in the North-East zones of the country had been liberated from the criminal elements.
