Security operatives in Enugu State have neutralized four unidentified gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed militia, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

The operation, involving a joint team of the Nigerian Army, Police, and DSS personnel, led to the recovery of a cache of arms and ammunition. Some of the gunmen fled into nearby bush areas with gunshot injuries following the intense confrontation.

The suspects were intercepted early Wednesday at Eha Alumona in Nsukka Local Government Area while allegedly planning attacks on parts of the state, including Enugu metropolis.

According to reliable security sources, an ESN commander, reportedly operating from neighboring states, was captured after an hours-long gunfight. The commander, who had been on the wanted list, subsequently led operatives to hideouts where additional weapons, charms, and other dangerous items were stashed.

Two security personnel sustained minor injuries in the exchange of fire. They are currently receiving treatment and have been reported in stable condition.

This action aligns with Governor Peter Mbah’s commitment to enhancing security across Enugu State. Under ongoing reforms, the state has established a Distress Response Squad (DRS) and invested in a Command and Control Center, as well as a surveillance security system to intercept and eliminate threats.

It time Nigerians wake up to the hypocrisy of the Igbo, you go to other people's region, you excel and enjoy better security, prosperity and other's, but people can come to your region to get same. It high time each region start treating them the way they treat others in their region. In onitsha market for example, they don't rent shop to outsiders.

gidgiddy:
They know how to fool Nigerians

Just tell them that gunmen were killed and it's IPOB, the watch the gullible ones believe it all

It never even crosses these peoples minds that the Police and Army have been doing this for years, dishing put falsehoods, lies and propaganda, just to look like they are working

You killed 4 gun men? Did you follow them to hell and ask them if they are ESN? Or did you make up the entire story to look good on paper?

😆 🤣 😂 😹
