All is not well in the camps of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militant wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN) following last weekend’s re-arrest of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, the recent clampdown on key actors in the secession agitation of the group and the dismantling of some of ESN’s camps.

Many foot soldiers of the two groups have gone into hiding while attacks on public buildings, especially police stations, have stopped for some time now.

Such attacks had been quite frequent across the Southeast since the April 6, 2021 raid of the Owerri Correctional Centre during which 1,844 inmates were set free and the building set ablaze.

For much of April, May and the early part of June, it was one attack after the other including the killing of many security personnel.

On April 24, gunmen set ablaze the Omuma, Oru East Local Government Area, Imo State country home of Governor Hope Uzodinma but IPOB, on the same day lost Kanu’s deputy, Ikonso, during a gun battle with a security team.

Six other ESN commanders were also killed in the gun battle.

The military and the police subsequently raided and dismantled suspected training camps of IPOB/ESN. Dozens of militants were killed during the raids.

Investigation by The Nation showed that members of the ESN have abandoned their camps at Orlu, Orsu, Aboh Mbaise and Ikeduru local government areas all in Imo State.

Many of them have gone underground, although some said they would return stronger and that the arrest of Kanu would not stop IPOB from pressing on with its agitation for the creation of Biafra Republic.
