Troops from the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Services (DSS) have carried out a successful operation in Asaba, Delta State, leading to the destruction of an enclave belonging to the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
The Director of Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, released a statement confirming the operation.
Brig.-Gen. Onyema said the raid was conducted by troops of the 63 Brigade Garrison under 6 Division, in collaboration with operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS), during a clearance operation on Saturday.
According to him, the gallant troops overpowered the IPOB fighters in the exchange of fire that followed the encounter, compelling them to abandon their hideout in disarray.
“The troops captured one of the fleeing fighters and recovered five AK 47 Rifles, three Pump Action Semi Automatic Rifles, one G3 Rifle and one single barrel gun.
“Other items recovered include Live Cartridges, Electric Saw, Machetes, an Axe and IPOB flag.
“The troops have destroyed the enclave and are exploiting the forest in pursuit of the fleeing fighters.
“The Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja has commended the troops and other security agencies for their effort in the ongoing operations and has charged them to sustain the momentum to restore sanity in the region,” he said.
