The Defence Headquarters has reacted to the killing of five soldiers by members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra in Abia State on Thursday.
The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj-Gen. Edward Buba said this in a statement on Friday, May 31. It was said that the IPOB terrorist, in three tinted Prado Toyota SUVs and others from built-up areas surrounding the checkpoint, sprang a surprise attack on the soldiers. He said: “Overall, it must be reiterated that the lifeline of the terrorist is the people and this situation is no exemption. Winning the war without the support of the people is close to impossible. The IPOB capitalized on this to perpetrate attacks on the troops. The situation leaves more to be desired.
