Troops of Operation UDO KA have neutralised six terrorist following a successful raid on the camp of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Igboro Forest, Arochukwu Local Government of Abia State on Saturday.

The Nigerian Army disclosed this on its X handle on Sunday, saying that the operation was embarked upon to apprehend the perpetrators of the attack on its troops in Aba last week.

The army said that during the intelligence led operation, troops encountered Improvised Explosive Devices along it’s axis of advance and one soldier sustained minor injury from the fragment.

“The terrorists’ feeble firefight were adequately subdued with superior firepower that led to the neutralization of 6 members of the criminal terrorists group while others escaped into adjoining bushes with varying degrees of gunshot wounds as blood stains were seen along their escape routes.
“The gallant troops recovered three locally fabricated Rocket Propelled Grenade launchers, two locally fabricated Artillery gun with tripod and its bombs.
“Other items recovered include dane guns, Biafran flags as well as Toyota Tundra and Hilux vehicles that were burnt insitu. Also all of their camps with different inscriptions were destroyed,”the statement read in part.

It added that the Joint Task Force Operation UDO KA called on the people of Abia to continue to cooperate with security agencies by giving credible and timely information that will help to annihilate the criminals in the State and the whole of South East Nigeria.
Recall that six soldiers were killed last week in an attack by the IPOB/ESN.
The attack took place at Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Area adjourning Aba metropolis, where troops of Operation Udoka were deployed to enforce peace in the area and protect the citizens.
The attackers were said to have come in three-tinted Toyota Prado SUVs and others, from built up areas surrounding the checkpoint.

Six civilians were killed in the crossfire that ensued between the terrorists and the troops.
Following the killing of the soldiers, the Miliatry had in a statement by its spokesperson, Major General Edward Buba, vowed military to retaliate the attack on its troops brutally.
“The armed forces mourns the death of these troops as each and every soldier lost in battle is a terrible loss. Meanwhile, investigation are ongoing concerning the attack.
“Overall, it must be reiterated that the lifeline of the terrorist is the people and this situation is no exemption. Winning the war without the support of the people is close to impossible. The IPOB capitalised on this to perpetrate attacks on the troops. The situation leaves more to be desired.
“Accordingly, it is absolutely imperative that the military retaliate against this dastardly act against troops. The military would be fierce in its response. We would bring overwhelming military pressure on the group to ensure their total defeat,” the statement read in part.
The IPOB/ESN terrorists launched the attack on the soldiers while enforcing a sit-at-home order across the South-East.

You cannot blame Tinubu a bunch if he cannot fix banditry, because it is alien to him, there is no banditry in the South West of Nigeria where he comes from, unlike the south East, & Northern Nigeria.

blacknp:
Yes it is fake news, I believe more like 26 were eliminated than the figures that were reported by the press.

PHAYOL81:


The people know these criminal groups, when they're really ready to cleanse their lands of the m@dness, they'll start pointing fingers.

kettykin:


But there is cultism, thuggery, area boy , ritual killings etc let him clean up and fix those

Mbanda:
That is the more reason why the army should be friendly with the locals not harassing and killing them unjustly. Killing the locals will not only increase the numbers of the so-called gunmen, it will also make the people to hate their countries army with passion. But yeye people that always cheer the military to annihilate every Igbo because of hate don't know this.
