Camps belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra alongside Eastern Security Network have been dislodged, says Onyema Nwachukwu, director, Army Public Relations.
Nwachukwu, a brigadier general, stated this in a statement made available to Adadareporters in Abuja on Sunday.
He said the camp was dislodged by a combine team of troops of 302 Regiment of the Nigerian Army, operatives of the Nigerian Navy, Department of State Services and Nigeria Police Force.
The locations of the dislodgement, according to Nwachukwu, are at Idara Nnebo, Ihe Mbosi villages and Ukpor in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The statement reads “In a clearance operation conducted in the early hours of Saturday 25 June 2022, troops cleared IPOB fire positions and improvised explosive devices to dislodge the criminals from their hideouts.
“During the operations, troops recovered two AK-47 rifles, three magazines with five rounds of 7.62 mm (Special) ammunition, two pump action rifles and one locally fabricated gun. Other items include three power generators, among others.
“The encounter forced the criminals to flee in disarray, while troops recovered one Lexus and a Toyota Highlander SUV suspected to have been snatched by the criminals.
“Other items recovered include two motorcycles, one double barrel gun and seven live cartridges.
“Members of the public are enjoined to continue to support troops with credible information on the activities of the criminal elements in the region.”
