On Saturday, 2 March 2024, Nigerian Army troops launched a series of successful operations targeting IPOB/ESN hideouts and terrorist activities in different regions of Nigeria, showcasing their dedication to maintaining peace and security in the country.
In the crackdown on the hideout at Ihiteukwa Community in Imo State, the troops engaged in a fierce firefight with IPOB/ESN fighters, eventually neutralizing one terrorist. The subsequent search of the hideout unearthed a cache of weaponry, including 3 Improvised Explosive Devices (IED), assorted ammunition, vehicles, communication devices, and other incriminating items.
Meanwhile, in the Akawa Nneato general area of Abia State, Nigerian troops intercepted suspected IPOB/ESN members crossing a point and confronted them, causing the terrorists to flee into nearby bushes. The aftermath of the skirmish revealed the recovery of arms, such as AK-47 Rifles, magazines, and ammunition, effectively thwarting any potential threat in the region.
Furthermore, in the dense Birnin Gwari Forest of Kaduna State, the troops carried out clearance operations, dismantling several terrorists' camps and seizing weapons, motorcycles, ammunition, and communication equipment. The destruction of these camps signifies a significant blow to insurgency activities in the area and a decisive victory for the Nigerian Army.
With meticulous attention to detail and unwavering determination, the Nigerian Army continues to vigilantly monitor and combat threats posed by insurgent groups, ensuring the safety and well-being of the populace. The successful operations underscore the army's resolve to uphold peace and stability in Nigeria, as it remains steadfast in its mission to eradicate terrorism and restore tranquility to troubled regions.
