Army destroys IPOB camps, shrine, recovers corpses in Imo

The Nigerian Army says it has destroyed four camps suspected to be hideouts for the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and the Eastern

Security Network in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State while fresh and old corpses were recovered.

According to the statement, the troops, during the operation, engaged in a gun battle with men of the IPOB and ESN who escaped with gunshot wounds into neighbouring forests. “During the clearance operation, troops encountered many Improvised Explosive Devices en route to 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 fear into the law-abiding citizens. These were evident from many fresh and old corpses discovered while clearing the entire camps.
