Troops of 34 Brigade Obinze have killed four members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN), in a fierce encounter that ensued at Amaifeke and Ihioma in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.
The terrorists were taken out on Monday, May 16, 2022, while shooting sporadically, threatening the lives and property of innocent citizens.
The irate dissidents opened fire on sighting the patrol team, who were out to ensure the safety and security of lives and property of citizens. The vigilant troops engaged the criminals and neutralized four of them, while others succumbed to the superior fire-power of the troops and escaped from the scene.
Items recovered from the encounter, include one pump-action shotgun, 10 live cartridges, one Hilux truck, which was reportedly snatched at gunpoint yesterday by the irredentists, mobile handsets, and charms.
A spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, Brig-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu has implored members of the public to provide credible information on the movement of the criminal elements to security agencies, whenever sighted in their communities.
