The statement by the Army did not indicate if the suspected terrorist that was arrested was an IPOB or ESN member.
Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 82 Division, Enugu, Jonah Unuakhalu, a lieutenant-colonel, stated on Sunday that the clearance operations held at Lilu community and Orsumoghu Forest in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.“During the clearance operations, the troops encountered various types of obstacles and detonated many Improvised Explosive Devices .
Such reliable information, he explained, could lead to the arrest of those who escaped with different degrees of gunshot wounds.“We also use this medium to urge the good people of the Southeast region to ignore the deceitful tweets of the self-acclaimed Biafra leader, Simon Ekpa. “Operation UDO KA II will continue to combat crime and criminality in accordance with extant rules and regulations guiding its operations,’’ Unuakhalu added.
IPOB, led by detained Nnamdi Kanu, is seeking the secession of the five South-eastern states and some parts of the neighbouring states from Nigeria as an independent Biafra nation.
