The Nigeria Army has revealed how it cleared the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its alleged armed affiliates Eastern Security Network (ESN) Camp in Imo state, adding that it took superior firepower to overtake the ESN forces.

This was made known in a statement signed by Lieutenant Colonel Jonah Unuakhalu for the Joint Task Force of Operation UDO KA II.

Recently, Troops of Joint Task Force South East Operation UDO KA II
attacked the Group camps in Ihube, Aku and Umulolo in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State.

As obtained from the Army Force X account @HQNigerianArmy, “During the clearance operation, troops encountered many Improvised Explosive Device (IEDs) enroute the camps. However, due to superior firepower, the irredentist fled into neighbouring forests with gunshot wounds.

“It was discovered that the camps were being used to perpetuate atrocities such as cannibalism, occultic practices and ritual killings to instil fears into the law abiding citizens. These were evident from many fresh and old corpses discovered while clearing the entire camps. Also, the houses of the 2 spiritual leaders/herbalists ( Dibias ) that took to their heels were destroyed.” The statement noted

More so, the statement has that the shrine of the wanted Amobi Chinoso Okafor, popularly known as Temple, where alleged human sacrifices are being made, was destroyed; in addition, the Joint Task Force neutralised 2 IPOB/ESN members and four were arrested.

Colonel Unuakhalu reported that, “Items recovered from the camps includes different denomination of the Biafra currencies, one new power bike, four motorcycles, solar panels. Others are (Plaster of Paris) POP cements and petroleum tanker suspected to have been hijacked from hard working Igbo owners trying to make a living.”
