The Nigerian military has drafted reinforcement troops from some of its formations fighting insurgency in Borno State to join the troops in the South-East region over the military’s clash with the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its security arm, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

Military sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the reinforcements were drawn from some battalions including the 231 Tank Battalion in Biu, Borno State, which is under the 3 Armoured Division, Jos, Plateau State.

As of January 2021, the Commanding Officer of the 231 Battalion, Biu, was a southerner, Lt. Col. M. E. Obi, who is ordinarily versed with the workings of the South-East, but it is not sure whether he will be in the South-East alongside the reinforcements.


“Yes, some troops are moving from the North-East to the South-East as reinforcements. They started moving from Wednesday. Among them are those from the 231 Tank Battalion; they are believed to be more trained in quelling uprisings,” a top source confirmed.


President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday held a meeting with the service chiefs and the Inspector-General of Police at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, telling them to adopt certain security measures in the South-East and the South-South geopolitical zones of the country.


SaharaReporters had on Tuesday reported that military sources familiar with the development said some of the measures which Buhari approved for the two zones were regular operational procedures to curb the growing violence.


“The police and military have been recording casualties in the South-East during raids and gun battles with the criminals disturbing the region. Therefore, the focus would shift more to air power in the coming weeks. Combat helicopters and other aircraft would be deployed to conduct massive raids on the hideouts from the air. It does not matter whether the hideouts are for the Indigenous People of Biafra or its armed outfit, what the military is looking for are criminals,” the source had revealed.


“There is also the likelihood of arrest of more traditional rulers, community heads and chiefs by the security agencies to extract key information. The army and police believe that the traditional and community intelligence will be important to suppress the IPOB and ESN uprising. The South-East states have to warn their traditional rulers against conniving with the agitators. You see how many traditional rulers were arrested, sanctioned, detained and dethroned in the North-West for conniving with bandits. The same table is turning to the South-East and South-South regions,” another security source had revealed.


SaharaReporters had gathered that the police and the army operatives were still conducting intelligence operations in the South-East and South-South, and will intensify their reach based on the new President’s directive.


SaharaReporters had reported on May 3 that security officials, due to the precarious situation had deserted their stations, and now prefer to go to work in mufti the few times they go there.


It had been gathered that most policemen, particularly those who are not Igbo indigenes, are desperately seeking for redeployments amidst fear of the incessant attacks by “unknown gunmen.”


SaharaReporters had on April 19 reported that most policemen in Abia wear mufti, after heavily armed men attacked Uzuakoli Police Station in the Bende Local Government Area in a string of attacks on other stations.

Buhari won't stop till he completely messes the whole country up

Na by force to like you? We igbos give no Bleep about you nd your vulturegrilling dxcksuckers

So Buhari has handed over Bornu to bokoharam.

Tank Battalion; they are believed to be more trained in quelling uprisings,” a top source confirmed.

Soliders that cannot tame bokoharam now want to nip esn.

This news is false. There are army formations in all the geo political zones.

Bulhary is very daft. Vegetable general

It is about to began

THE NIGERIA ARMY WILL LOSE MEN IN THE COMING DAYZ AND WEEKS.




BOKO HARAM WILL ATTACK THEM FROM THE BACK, IPOB WILL GO TO WORK ON THEM FROM THE FRONT.




ODUA PEOPLE WILL USE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK HERDSMEN IN THEIR FOREST.





REMAINING THE MIDDLEBELT.




SPREAD THEM WIDE AND PICK THEM OFF.

They will all fall.

Its unfortunate.

Every nation and tribe on earth can defend themselves against attacks but not Igbos.

Same with Israel, Hamas can fire 255 rockets into Israel in 3 days but Israel must not defend themselves. If those rockets were successful, we would have been hearing Allahu Akbar.

Let it be known, Igbos are not cowards. We dont back down. The trait in us for which they hate us. People will die but Biafra shall be free.

IgweOfNnewi:

Illiterate.

Else we are not the children of God...those state sponsored terrorists in uniform been deployed to our land shall meet their water loo...



Inshallah!!

They deliberately refuse to fight BOKOHARAM in fact they are indirectly or directly funding and arming them. Expect a different army in the East from those fighting BOKOHARAM.
You should know better.

God doesn't fight conventional wars, weapons and technology does. So be prepared or be defeated.

Jubrin is a terrorist

The Rohingya case will be a small case for these fula people. They will beg on deaf ears

This is a worst strategy in military parlance. Who is the moronic general that wants to engage group of unknown gun men without uniform in a firefight? In this scenario, the repeat of northeast is about to repeat itself. These fools will turn the civilians against them. Most of these unprofessional soldiers will not return home and Nigeria shall become greatest supplier of weapons to UGN.

Have thought of a different fighters in the East from Boko Haram in the north? Things will explode beyond the controls of the fools who seemed to be leading this foolishness.

Nigeria government made this known why IPOB made theirs unknown.

God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
God bless Biafra

All this boasting because of few snatched AK47s they took from police?
I just pray the military will employ highest level of professionalism in their mission and avoid civilian casualties but in Nigeria there is no value for human life.

U can never win a gorilla war when the masses are against you

Lol with crypto currency ESN donation would sky rocket

Buhari have successfully handed borno to Boko Haram....

I love Buhari
