He further stated that they will visit the hospital of a medical doctor and kill anybody there if he fails to cooperate with them.

Okwute in the voice note stated that he has monitored the doctor and his activities in the town.

The alleged ESN leader added that the doctor has not supported their Biafra project.

He said, “Do you believe in Biafra? How much have you put into the project since we started this cause? Some of you are sabotaging what we’re doing in Igboland.

“How much are you willing to pay to support our mission? We will send an account where you will pay N500,000 or forget it.”

The ESN Commander threatened to shut down the doctor’s hospital when he promised to pay N20,000 into their account.

The voice said, “Since Governor Soludo has vowed to hunt us with Police and Army in this state, we’re going to make Anambra ungovernable for him and he will be forced to resign.”
