TROOPS RAID SUSPECTED IPOB/ESN HIDEOUT IN ENUGU STATE

Troops of Joint Security Team have raided a suspected Indigeneous People of Biafra/Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) hideout located in Mgbowo, Awgu Local Government Area on 1 November 2021. During the night operation, two ring leaders of IPOB/ ESN were arrested. The suspects are currently undergoing interrogation with a security agency.

It should be noted that, contrary to IPOB/ESN propaganda video, there was no incident of indiscriminate firing or unprovoked burning of houses during the raid. The joint operation in Agwu was conducted in the night and there was no destruction of any private property involved.

The trending videos in circulation claiming to represent the aftermath of the night operation is not portraying the Agwu operation. It is meant to whip up sentiment and incite the public against the Army. Meanwhile, Investigation into the video is ongoing to ascertain when and where it was shot and those involved. Any personnel found culpable would be sanctioned accordingly. Updates will be communicated when investigation is completed.

Members of the public are advised to disregard such propaganda materials intended to mislead the public. We shall continue to support other security agencies in line with our constitutional mandate in a professional manner. Any act of unprofessional conduct among our troops will not be tolerated.

You are denying a video ? LMAO

You are telling the public to disregard the propaganda made by IPOB/ESN and at the same time you are ordering for an investigation to ascertain the authenticity of the news

Social media be like breeze/air and this our sweet government be like fowl nyash. When breeze/air blow e go open fowl nyash
Thank God social media.

He has confirmed the news in a stupid way.

The poor uniforms and the Nike hat kind of make hard to believe that it was the Army

Trash for only oily skulled Muslims to believe

We already know

The very shabby way they wore the Army Uniform and the poor and Chaotic handling of their guns and shooting in the Video already made it too abundantly clear that they were definitely not Soldiers

Trust Nigerian army at your own peril

Isn’t the same Nigerian army that can lie for Africa.

Just like lekki tollgate

Nigerian army: we were not at the tollgate
We were there but we didn’t shoot
We fired shots, but only blank bullet

Useless and shameless force

Propaganda kee you there...

please where can I get army uniform?

Yes it's government movie, not the Nigerian Army

The Nigerian military, what a killing joke

Would they ever agree?

I work at Enugu metroplis, there were sporadic shooting, people were running, what kind of lies is this. Are we at war

Western power should just stop selling weapons to this dimwits. Can the Nigerian army face her equal in a gun battle? One thing I have learnt all my life is that bully always run when they come in contact with their equal.

I hate shamelessness in my life, and soldiers are shameless. Spit

God punish u guys

Since 2015 that the dullard entered, that was when Nigerians started hearing this word called propaganda. They always want to use it to cover their ineptitude, even when caught pants down.

Buhari and his useless army will never escape the wrath of God and ICC

Anything Nigerian army denies is true. They are now a ministry for lie and destruction

Liars, i heard the gunshots, am in Enugu town. People are scared

Fact

I have been made to believe anything Nigerian institutions deny turns out to be true.......this is shameful

The military will always deny even when there is clear evidence.

When will they stop this useless and childish behaviour?
