In Clearance Operation, Troops Eliminate Two IPOB Fighters in Abia Forest

Sequel to additional intelligence gathered in the aftermath of recent raid operations against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) conducted in  Ihechiowa community of Arochukwu Local Government in Abia State,  troops in collaboration with other security agencies, have intensified their operations by raiding  and clearing  IPOB/ESN camps in the Umudi Forest and Umuaku areas of Umunneochi Local Government Area (LGA) today.

The operations commenced with an offensive on the first terrorists’ camp, where troops encountered resistance and in the firefight, troops neutralized two terrorists, while others took to their heels having been overwhelmed by superior firepower. The terrorists’ camp was subsequently destroyed. Further operations led to the destruction of a shrine and another camp, with several items recovered from the sites.

Items recovered include:

– One AK-47 rifle with a magazine containing 79 rounds of 7.62mm (special) ammunition

– 15 Pump-action cartridges

– Three Baofeng radios
