Troops Kill Notorious IPOB/ ESN Member In Imo State
Troops of 34 Artillery Brigade Nigerian Army (NA) on Sunday, 17 April, 2022 neutralized a member of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network(ESN) at Ihioma Community in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.
Troops on routine patrol encountered members of the militant group who fired sporadically at Banana Junction to enforce the illegal sit at home order on law abiding citizens going about their legitimate businesses.
According to a statement signed by Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director of Army Public Relations, “the IPOB/ESN fighters on sighting the troops, withdrew in a blue Toyota Highlander towards Ihioma Community for reinforcement.
“In the fire fight that ensued during the operation, one of the criminals was killed while others fled in disarray.
Troops are combing the general area in a follow up operations to track down the fleeing dissidents.
“Having suffered casualty and effectively denied freedom of action by the troops, the group have resorted to cheap propaganda to whip up public sentiments by circulating a doctored video on the social media alleging troops complicity in their mindless atrocities. This propaganda should be disregarded in its entirety”.
