Ruggedman once gave Jahbless a detailed breakdown of how a gang attacked him at a London restaurant in 2019.

Watch carefully and pay attention to the name(s) he mentioned at the end and the role he(they) played. https://t.co/cL08mMo0gh pic.twitter.com/UYBIvEzOwV

How’s ESN now IPOB ??

Isn’t it the security network for SE formed by the governors

JOINT NIGERIAN ARMY, POLICE TROOPS NEUTRALIZE IPOB/ESN COMBATANTS IN ABIA, ENUGU ENCOUNTERS ... Burst hideouts, Recover Artillery Guns

Joint troops of 82 Division Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police have neutralized 3 combatants of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN) in a fierce encounter that ensued during a clearance operation in the early hours of Monday 18 September 2023 at Igboro Forest, between Arochukwu and Ohafia Local Government Areas of Abia state.

On winning the fire fight, the troops wasted no time
destroying several hideous camps used by members of the groups to perpetrate heinous crimes.

The camps were uncovered, after several weeks of credible surveillance revealed that IPOB/ESN were using the forest as a combat training ground for their members and as a base for planning and launching attacks on targeted civilians, security operatives and government facilities in the state.

On further exploiting the camp, the gallant troops recovered several weapons and ammunition, amongst others. The Items recovered include One improvised 16 Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher (MBRL) Gun mounted on a vehicle, One improvised 12 MBRL Gun, One improvised 6 MBRL Gun, One AK 47 Rifle, One Dane Gun, 6 locally made Rocket Launchers, four Improvised Explosive Devices, five Fragmental Jackets, One Baofeng Radio, Military Camouflage Uniforms and several assorted charms.

In a similar development that also took place in the early hours of today, 18 September 2023, same troops of 82 Division NA in synergy with the Nigerian Police Force, acting on credible intelligence busted IPOB/ESN hideout at Ezioha Mgbowo in Awgu Local Government Area of Enugu state.
The armed fighters were perfecting plans to enforce the illegal sit-at-home order in the area, when the vigilant troops swooped on them.

The armed fighters, who opened fire on sighting troops approaching their camp were however defeated in the fire fight that followed, as the troops responded with overwhelming fire power, neutralizing three of the fighters, while others fled in disarray. The troops recovered three Pump Action Guns and 10 Machetes from the fleeing fighters.

Members of the public are implored to continue to support the Nigerian Army and other security agencies with credible information to enhance the fight against terrorism insurgency and other criminal activities.

You forgot to write he is the older brother of Datti Baba Ahmed. Obi's vice presidential candidate

naptu2:
The Baba-Ahmed Family has a lot of illustrious members including the media giant Khalifa Baba-Ahmed, the very intelligent columnist and former permanent secretary Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed and the former broadcaster Hauwa Baba-Ahmed (now Hauwa Shuaibu-Galma).

Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed is known for his very sharp wit and his debating ability.

naptu2:
Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has been a columnist for a long time and if you read his columns in the 2000s, you would know that he always says what's on his mind, no matter what happens. He can criticise the PDP, if there is need to do so, he can criticise the APC if there is the need to do so and he can criticise the Labour Party (and even his own brother) if it is necessary. Nobody can stop him.

naptu2:
Note: This is the famous columnist and former permanent secretary, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed. It is not his younger brother, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, who was Peter Obi's running mate.

It is time to make it public that I have accepted the call to serve as Special Adviser (Political) to the VP, @KShettim.This is not the time for fence-sitting or criticism when you can be useful in turning the country round. I am honored and humbled. Please pray for me & Nigeria
