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.

Can you imagine the quoted?

"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."

Call them terrorists now, and they'll start vibrating and churning out invectives.

The thread before this showed how the military turned the other side to allow armed terrorists to pass and even "ordered" their colleagues in other locations to do likewise embarassed. The same military is dealing seriously and decimating IPOB\ESN embarassed. Nature always favour the strong, the military sees Fulani terrorists as stronger than IPOB\ESN and must be feared by them while IPOB\ESN can be a scapegoat for show of strengthembarassed. Until there's is an equal perception and treatment of terrorists by our security agencies, terrorism will continue. There was once a country embarassed
