Nigerian troops, in an operation that involved crossing a river into challenging forest terrain, have stormed an IPOB-linked criminal camp in Abator, Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, recovering a cache of firearms, ammunition and materials suspected to be associated with improvised explosive device (IED) production. The operation,... conducted on October 1, followed the rescue of three abducted persons in the Osakwa General Area of Ihiala Local Government Area, prompting a coordinated security response involving troops and local security volunteers. At about 5:30 a.m. on October 1, troops of 185 Battalion, working alongside the local security volunteers, launched a follow-up operation that led to the arrest of a suspected member of the kidnapping syndicate, identified as Sunday Obi.show more

During interrogation, the suspect disclosed that the syndicate's camp was located at Abator, across the Isieke waterside in Ogbaru LGA. The intelligence triggered a follow-up operation, requiring troops to navigate the waterways and penetrate dense forest terrain being used as a hideout by the suspected criminals. Undeterred by the difficult environment, the joint force mobilised canoes to cross the river and advance towards the suspected camp. Upon reaching the location, troops engaged the suspected criminal, forcing the occupants to flee into the surrounding terrain, with some sustaining gunshot wounds. The operation resulted in the recovery of a significant cache of weapons, ammunition, electronic equipment and materials suspected to be associated with IED production.

Troops also recovered materials suspected to be used in the production of improvised explosive devices, alongside a solar generator, power bank, car battery, two motorcycle batteries, two solar panels and two mobile phones. The recovered items are expected to support further investigations into the activities, logistics and potential supply networks of the suspected criminal group.

See the stupid people who claim to be fighting for Biafra. Igbo people, open your eyes. If you keep supporting IPOB, Igboland could soon become a war zone. Some Igbo people see these people hiding in the bush but choose not to report them.

Funny is that when they kidnap their victim, folks will run online to shout "Fulani heardmen "...my point is before you called an outside as the one responsible for your problem, look in-wards first

IBOS and FULANIS are our major headache in Nigeria.

You arrest kidnappers and immediately tag them IPOB just to sell your cheap propaganda IPOB doesn't kill our people they are meant to protect and defend us that's why the ESN was created

They will avoid this tweet like a plague and the few ones that might engage would tell you it’s staged. They hate accountability.

@PeterObi one of your junior brother have been arrested. Same surname with you

We need to commend the gallantry, strength and courage of our armed forces. As much as we condemn ugly incidents, lets applaud their victory too. My security men & women, I salute una ooo, God protect you guys always. And us too

God bless our armed forces

this is false news. This isn't ipob, it's election season let's scream IPOB next. The suspect never claimed he was a member. So rest this your propaganda.

Investigate it well and get all those involved, send them all to the darkest dungeon, we need to clean our environment off criminals

This is a wonderful news. Well done @HQNigerianArmy

anybody wey una arrest for east una go tag am IPOB.

If you like kidnapp people and label them IPOB, IPOB has come to stay

Peter obi won't say anything because it's his people

Anambra is arguably the most unsafe and terrorised state in SE the Anambra obi said he sanitised and put in order many years ago after he left office the situation keeps getting worse if he can't govern a small anambra with a few million people how will he govern 200million+ hmm

Very good 👏👏👏👏👏👏. God bless the Nigeria Army 🙏. God bless Nigeria 🙏

You caught a thief and you tagged him IPOB. does it mean you still don't know the meaning of IPOB? Every igbo man is indigenous to Biafra because that's where the belong. Stop tagging criminals IPOB please. While I commend your efforts,pls do same in the north too.
