During the time the outfit was supposed to the launched, the outlaws group, IPOB had already launched their own security group, the ESN which has been accused of causing mayhem in the region.
In the space of 2 months, over 6 police stations have been attacked and burnt down, and some security personnel killed in Imo state and the surrounding states.
