The Nigerian Army has deployed combat helicopters, gun trucks and soldiers to search some forests in the South-East states where the Eastern Security Network, recently launched by Nnamdi Kanu, is suspected to be camping.

SaharaReporters learnt that the military search had been ongoing for days, and has no time frame, as the army was acting on "orders from above."


From the drones and hidden cameras believed to be installed by the ESN, a video captured the Nigerian Army helicopters and their vehicles and soldiers searching for the camp of the ESN to make arrests.

Kanu, a leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, on December 12, launched the ESN, saying the regional security outfit, just like Amotekun in the South-West, would help tackle crime.

"The Nigerian Army that is supposed to fight Boko Haram were seen everywhere searching for the camp of Eastern Security Network team. But they forgot they are dealing with sophisticated men. There are cameras and drones everywhere watching them," an official told Saharareporters.

"If the Nigerian Armed Forces attack the ESN, the people of Southern Kaduna, the Middle Belt, and the South-West must use that opportunity to flush out the Fulanis in their region. The Nigerian Army will disintegrate, and all will be free," another aggrieved official added.

Two days after Kanu launched the ESN, the Yoruba's socio-cultural group, Afenifere, lent its support, noting that Nigeria must embrace regional policing as the only remedy to insecurity.

The Afenifere National Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin, in an interview with SaharaReporters, had stated this, adding that the distorted federal police could no longer secure the country; hence the establishment of regional security outfits to protect lives and property.

He said, "It is seen that the central policing in Nigeria has collapsed, and the regional policing is not a new thing in this country. And, I tell you, we are back to the era of regional policing.

"The security challenges have gone beyond what the Nigeria police can handle, and since we have had regional policing before, we are back into the era again."

When asked if this is commendable and needed, he said, "Kanu is doing what is good for his region."

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen Sagir Musa, could not be reached for comments on the deployment of the aircraft.

This is most uncalled for. But it is expected of the Fulani army that protected murderous herdsmen to kill farmers, but deploy Fulani troops to kill vigilantes protecting farmlands.

ESN should operate a purely guerrilla tactics. Hit hard and disappear. They should not be cowed by intimidation by Nigerian army. More importantly they shouldn't hold back from maximum reprisals against both these troops and their herdsmen targets if any of their men are killed by the Fulani army.

FG should arrest that KANU boy, and jailed him

Okay...





Buhari feels so insecure to be a leader, and anybody who feels insecure can go a great length in doing vile things out of desperation.


Those troops could have been sent to handle more pressing threats than sniffing around for a group whose creation remains a mystery.

He is simply ready to battle anarchy, and not insecurity.

Lol!

It's JAIL olodo.

Ain’t it funny how, when it comes to combing the forests in the north, south-west, south-south, and to a lesser extent...the south-east, this same military hardware and bravado goes MIA!? I suppose they fear IPOB more than any bloodthirsty herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers!

,

Great job Nigeria army fish them out all the terrorist, we already have Boko haram on ground another one is coming up

Nigeria army searching for what's not there.

Useless objective. instead of them to go and search for Boko Haram In their forest and bushes

Aksnoopy:
It's JAIL olodo.

Including you ... Jailed you even before they arrest KANU and you.

Good work by our darling nigeria army
flush out those ipob bastards, they are terrorists like boko haram and if you find them, kill them and roast those fools like chicken.

They're very stupid. They will suffer losses.

You alk readily believe all of is, he didn’t provide a single picture, video and link and even if he did they could have easily gotten actors to dress up in military uniforms with guns as props, there is a lot of fake news being made in Nigeria to further divide the nation between ethnic and religious lines, be guided.

The north are secretly claiming ownership of Nigeria by clamping down on anything that looks threatened their divide and rule syndrome.

Only stiff resistance by Southerners can checkmate this else everybody should go separate.

Typical Afanja, Bandits and herdsmen are busy ravaging your region, your concern is ESN...

Zoo army, zoo army. Dem go still hide o. Ipod NL chapter too go change mouth from zoo army dey fear to genocide and run to UN now. Cownu and his boys will not kill me.

Its just time. Bihari will go. Just about 2years and 5 months. I pray he should be alive to see a well restructured Nigeria were every nationality that make up Nigeria would chat their course. Buhari's greatest nightmare is never The Book Haram and Bandit menace in the north, never the poverty, illiteracy and backwardness ravaging the north. His greatest fear is an independent and a free southern Nigeria, Resource control and a country free from Fulani Oligarchy

U're too gullible to be a sophisticated thinker. What evidence, that d moniker isn't an hausa or anyone else outside a Yoruba man as ur narrow mind believed?

This could part of the ploy bn deploy to creat discord in d midst of Southerners since we seem United now than ever.


Reason well!!!

Instead of focusing on your region, you are wetting yourself on those who want to defend their land from killers.

Why are you not concerned about those in the north sent to their early graves every day.
Coward con-ehead!

Fake news.

Eastern whateva is a terrorist organization founded by a fugitive.

If this organization was founded by Igbo leaders, I would have supported it.

Government should destroy it before they become a gang of armed robbers and drug traffickers

He is in London. They should send army, navy, Air force, Pyton dance, crocodile smile to bundle him asap.
