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.

Never4getU:
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!!!

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.

thebosstrevor1:
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

Abohboy:
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.

Yoruba1stson:
see this dindinrin, hausa ko fulani ni. Oponu nyamiri

AsiwajuNdigbo:
If anyone can dress up in military uniform for props, without approval of defense hqs it means simply there is no military authority, everyone is his own military force and authority. The sovereingty is dead!

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

Thst is just a lie thousands of people in countries like America and England dress up in military uniforms just for fun has nothing to do with sovereignty

AsiwajuNdigbo:
Military clothing is different from military uniform.

Do you know what military uniform is?

Wearing military camouflage is not same as dressed in military uniform.

Where are you from?

oguns222:
Have you asked yourself why the same solders haven't deployed soldiers to search for kidnappers and bandits in the north? Or is it that your safety parents and family members doesn't matter?

Abohboy:
But the same soldiers have been deployed to deal with bandits and kidnappers

Abohboy:
Which is what I mean, the camera quality in most of their videos is bad enough for you not to be able to realize whether or not the6 were wearing military clothing or uniform plus this person provided no evidence whatsoever to back up their claims, yet you believe them out of the blue.

BlackfireX:

cjrane:
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.
