COMBINED TROOPS NEUTRALIZE ESN/IPOB FIGHTERS IN ENCOUNTER

Combined troops of 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police and Operatives of the Department of State Services have neutralized two IPOB/ESN fighters and arrested five others after a fierce encounter that took place on Monday 17 July 2023 at Fuji Junction general area in Asaba, Delta state.

The encounter followed distress calls that the community was under attack by the terrorists, to which the combined troops swiftly responded. The terrorists succumbed to the overwhelming fire power of the troops, after two of their members fell in the fire fight that ensued, while the survivors fled to their hideout around Okpanam river.

The gallant troops in pursuit of the fleeing criminal elements, successfully trailed them to their enclave in a house around Okpanam river, where they were nabbed. The troops also recovered one AK 47 Rifle, one Pump Action Semi Automatic Rifle, 15 Live Cartridges, one AK 47 Rifle Magazine and a Baofeng Radio Receiver.

We implore members of the public to continue to cooperate with the security agencies by providing actionable information to support their operations to tackle security challenges.

The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja has lauded the combined troops for their effort and urged them to sustain the synergy, as they restore peace and tranquility in the region.

Peter obi, OHANAEZE and oby ezekwesili won't be happy with this nice development

successmatters:
Regular armed robbers will be tagged ipob just to discredit the organisation of MNK. Some innocent persons will even be framed. No investigation, no questions and no inquiries, everyone who commits a crime in Igboland will tagged esn, even for these guys who doesn't look igbo in any way.

AsomughaChuks05:
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has been giving these Ipob terrorists so much heat that they ran to Delta and Enugu states. Remarkably, while Enugu capital was under lock and key by Simon Ekpa yesterday Monday, Anambra was bubbling with business so much that the CBN organized a football match for its owerri and port harcourt branches at the Awka township stadium. Anambra vigilante group have been killing Ipob terrorists without mercy in Anambra and the sooner other south east states adopt this drastic approach, the sooner sit at home will end because Tinubu's body language doesn't look like KANU will leave the DSS custody at all.
