The army says its men in conjunction with the
operatives of other security agencies invaded the
group's camp in Rivers State.

By Nasir Ayitogo
The Nigerian Army has said its men from the 6
Division Garrison, Port Harcourt and 29 Battalion, in
conjunction with other security agencies, have killed
seven members of the Eastern Security Network
(ESN), the militant arm of pro-Biafra group, IPOB.

It also said six other members of the group were
arrested.

The army said its men carried out the operation
with the operatives of Nigerian Police, State Security
Service and NSCDC.

Army spokesperson, Mohammed Yerima, made this
known in a statement on Saturday.

According to the statement, the operation was
conducted on Thursday when the combined security
team conducted a Clearance/Raid Operation at
suspected IPOB/ESN enclaves at Agbomchia Forest
along Pipeline Road Ogali/Komkom Boundary
between Eleme and Oyigbo LGA’s of Rivers State.

This comes a week after Nigerian security agents
arrested a dismissed lance corporal allegedly
responsible for training and recruiting members into
the ESN.

He was arrested after a top commander of the
militant group, Awurum Eze, was arrested in Aba,
Abia State.

The group was alleged to be responsible for the
killing of security agents and destruction of public
properties in the South-east and South-south zones.
It has, however, denied any involvement.

In the statement on Saturday, the army said arms
and ammunition were recovered from the camp of
the group.

It also said the group engaged security agents but
they suffered no casualties.

Zombies have run short of news to post. They are seriously pained that about 15 Soldiers were killed in different locations only yesterday. They are desperate now and can even post last five years incidents just to score cheap points and have something to masturbate on.
