Troops Raid IPOB/ESN Camps in Anambra, As 15 Boko Haram Fighters Surrender

The Nigerian Army has continued to sustain its offensive against terrorists and criminal networks across the country. In a series of well-executed operations, troops have successfully dismantled terrorists’ hideouts, apprehended key terrorist elements, and seized fire arms as well as logistics, while several Boko Haram fighters and their families have surrendered. These decisive actions underscore the Nigerian Army’s resolve to eradicate all threats to national security.

In a recent raid operation to curb terrorists’ activities in South Eastern Nigeria, troops stormed an IPOB/ESN hideout in the Enugwu Umuonyia community in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State. Overwhelmed in the ensuing firefight, the terrorists fled, leaving behind a cache of arms and logistics. The troops swiftly searched and destroyed the hideouts, recovering 78 rounds of 7.62mm x 39mm ammunition, 13 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 20 live cartridges, a pump-action gun, a locally fabricated pistol, an AK-56 magazine and six vehicles found within the camp.
