The Nigerian Army has dislodged camps belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) from Idara Nnebo, Ihe Mbosi villages, and Ukpor in Anambra State, southeast Nigeria.
After dislodging the camps, the soldiers also found two pump action rifles, one locally made gun, three magazines with five rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, two AK-47 rifles, and three magazines.
Three power generators are among the additional equipment recovered by the troops.
Similar, troops of the 103 Battalion carried out a raid on the IPOB/ESN camp at Nkwere Inyi Forest in Enugu State’s Oji River Local Government.
During the encounter, the crooks were forced to run in disorder, and troops found a Toyota Highlander SUV and a Lexus that were thought to have been stolen by the offenders.
Two motorcycles, a double barrel gun, and seven live rounds are among the additional goods found.
Meanwhile, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State says his last 100 days in office have been “bumpy” and challenging due to the rising ‘insecurity and red treasury’ he inherited from his predecessor, Willie Obiano.
Soludo, who disclosed this on Saturday during a ceremony to mark his 100 days in office, vowed to end the Monday sit-at-home order declared by outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra.
“To be sure, the last 100 days have been bumpy and challenging as expected, with insecurity and a red treasury being the most portent, as clearly identified in our inaugural address,” he said.
