Operatives of the Nigerian Police have arrested a former soldier said to be responsible for the training of fighters for the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The former soldier, identified as 32 years old Livinus Owalum-Barnabas was arrested on Sunday in Gwagwalada, Abuja by operatives attached to the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

Owalum-Barnabas is understood to be a dismissed army lance corporal and was lured by IPOB/ESN with a monetary offer of double what he gets paid in the military.

An exclusive report by Premium Times revealed that the former soldier was recruited by some members of IPOB in Abuja and sent to train newly recruited IPOB/ESN in two of their training Camps in Abia and Delta States.
