COMBINED TROOPS NEUTRALIZE ESN/IPOB FIGHTERS IN ENCOUNTER

Combined troops of 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, the Nigeria Police and Operatives of the Department of State Services have neutralized two IPOB/ESN fighters and arrested five others after a fierce encounter that took place on Monday 17 July 2023 at Fuji Junction general area in Asaba, Delta state.

The encounter followed distress calls that the community was under attack by the terrorists, to which the combined troops swiftly responded. The terrorists succumbed to the overwhelming fire power of the troops, after two of their fell in the fire fight that ensued, while the survivors fled to their hideout around Okpanam river.

The gallant troops in pursuit of the fleeing criminal elements, successfully trailed them to their enclave in a house around Okpanam river, where they were nabbed. The troops also recovered one AK 47 Rifle, one Pump Action Semi Automatic Rifle, 15 Live Cartridges, one AK 47 Rifle Magazine and a Baofeng Radio Receiver.

We implore of the public to continue to cooperate with the security agencies by providing actionable information to their operations to tackle security challenges.

The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Taoreed Lagbaja has lauded the combined troops for their effort and urged them to sustain the synergy, as they restore peace and tranquility in the region.

A round of applause for the combined troops of 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army for a job well done

Nice one by the brave men of the Nigerian Army. Sorry about your luck Chizoba and Chwukudi.

No propaganda will stop us from chasing that miscreant president out of aso rock get ready to do your worst

Peter obi, OHANAEZE and oby ezekwesili won't be happy with this nice development

Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra has been giving these Ipob terrorists so much heat that they ran to Delta and Enugu states. Remarkably, while Enugu capital was under lock and key by Simon Ekpa yesterday Monday, Anambra was bubbling with business so much that the CBN organized a football match for its owerri and port harcourt branches at the Awka township stadium. Anambra vigilante group have been killing Ipob terrorists without mercy in Anambra and the sooner other south east states adopt this drastic approach, the sooner sit at home will end because Tinubu's body language doesn't look like KANU will leave the DSS custody at all.

Dem go soon start to dey shout genocide while Chimamanda is already preparing a letter that will be sent to the United Nations.

I think by now, the people already know the antics of the Nigerian Army killing innocent people, placing weapons on them and tagging them IPOB. Thats why they never catch a suspect alive

How you know this is from the statements that lier of an Army spokesman called Onyema Ugochukwu puts out

An unamed community puts out a distress call that they are being attacked. The Army and DSS quickly organised themselves and rushed down to this nameless community, engaged the attackers, gunned down two of them, pursued the rest to Okpanam River where they managed to arrest 5 of them without a shootout, and amongst the five were men and women

Story for fools to believe

This is how the Nigerian Army killed a number of vigilantes in Nnsukka recently. Had the Nigerian police not arrived at the scene, by now lying Brigadier Onyema Ugochukwu would have reeled out an incredible story of how the Nigerian Army killed ESN

Kill them all. Don't bring tht nonsense to asaba. I have warned you ers of ipob and esn thT we will never tolerate you in asaba. Asaba is not igbo land
Try it again and see

We will soon pursue all you igbo back to your state. Be defending rubbish as if you were not there when ipob said they were going to extend sit at home to asaba

successmatters:
Regular armed robbers will be tagged ipob just to discredit the organisation of MNK. Some innocent persons will even be framed. No investigation, no questions and no inquiries, everyone who commits a crime in Igboland will tagged esn, even for these guys who doesn't look igbo in any way.

They place a gun on them? Then it is a bloody lie.

Kanu started the sit at home and solicited for guns from diaspora ndigbo associations in the US.

He even told his IPOB boys to kill Nigerian army personals and snatch their guns.. it's will be tough to let him off the hook. He is a big fish.

I hope they didn't kill innocent people? If indeed they killed people enforcing sit at home, then justice was served

Can such picture come from zamfara?

They are mature enough to defend themselves Mr Ipob/esn sympathisers. Do those people caught look like toddlers that can't speak for themselves whom they are working for and association they belong. Go to millitary base where those alife among them are being detained to defend them, and raise human right for them if you think their rights are violated and stop wasting your time online. It will soon reach your turn, if you are one of the Ipob/esn terrorists rated number 10 in the world. Before it was turn of ikonso, now two had gone to meet him. Your time will soon come if you belong to Ipob/esn that foreign Ekpa is wasting their lifes

They all look like meth addicts

No serious person can a group of armed boys terrorising the South East whereas those who jailed Nnamdi Kanu are chilling in Abuja.

the federal government should pls allow these people kill themselves in peace. Wetin concern FG with biafrans killing themselves? Let them be abeg after all you ibos said that esn are their freedom fighters

So they're enforcing sit at home in Asaba?



Nigeria government and it useless media.

All I see are armed robbers that went for operations. Thank God they were successfully neutralized all thanks to N.A. and t tasks force. And for all those junk media tagging IPOB, learn to be professional with your reportage

ONLY TWO?

Thank you! Let them go and meet their elohim!
