EXCLUSIVE: Army Raids Imo Communities, Arrests Youths, Women, Residents Over IPOB, ESN hip.


The Nigerian Army has deployed its personnel to some Imo State communities to carry out raids, discreet searches and arrests of youths and residents who are suspected to be linked to the Indigenous People of Biafra and its security arm, the Eastern Security Network.


Multiple sources told SaharaReporters that the military personnel, suspected to be led by the 34 Artillery Brigade, Owerri, since Sunday have been arresting male residents and youths, particularly in Oguta and Ohaji communities and clamping them into vans and taken to unknown destinations.

“We have been getting distress calls from our relatives and people that the army sent its men to surround communities in Ohaji, Osu, Agwa and Izombe. They have been abducting some male youths

It is an abduction because nobody among those arrested knows his offence, where they are taking him to or is able to communicate to his relatives before he is taken away. The military are forcing them in their vans,” a source stated.

women are among the victims being raided too.
Some of our women who went to farms have not returned since. People from Oguta, Ohaji communities, who have relatives in Owerri town are fleeing, because the army wants to turn our villages into deserts. What is all this search because of IPOB and ESN? Is it by emptying our villages that you arrest IPOB and ESN? Won’t people go to their farms again?” a resident said.

What is happening in Nigeria ooo? What have we done? Is now a crime to be a Nigerian?

All this could have been avoided by all means..

Now innocent people would be the one to pay the price as those cowards must have returned to their crave

Cowards soldiers

Oh they can't meet with the elders or send representatives,you think they don't have hierarchy.

But SE governors have asked the ESN to Ebubeagu which Ipobs bluntly rejected

Those elders you are referring to have always been saboteurs,e.g Ohaneze

Waste of time

Unknown gunmen will retaliate for sure.

Unknown gunmen thank you for your service

make una stop killing and arasting innocent igbos.
foolish government and stupid military....

When Unknown gun men attack the terrorist army now,foolish people will start talking nonesense.




Now they will be rejoicing.

Stupid military, what happens to intelligent gathering before operation, Nigerian Army behave like untrained terrorist group

If the boys start killing the soldiers, people would say they want to turn their region to the NE. What's this unprovoked attack now?

This is a welcome development. I the raid and arrest.

The Army should lock all in cage and starve them of food.

Until the masses in SE begin to condemn ESN / IPOBS, the SE will never see peace.

They burn police stations, kill police, kill Army and they hail them.

How do we know those arrested are innocent.

Kudos to the Nigerian Army.

I urge Wike to close our Borders with the SE so they dont flee into Port Harcourt

ok

Cowardly black brain speaking.

You think freedom is free. Go and keep hiding in your bunker until your fulani master arrives, rape your mum and sisters, and chop off your ugly head.

Keep your cowardly advice to yourself. It's a shame we exist in the same space with cowards always fearing for thier miserable lives.

Even though I don't like oo anything dat has to do with ipob, but truth is this is very wrong.

I wonder how dis onyeoshi vote thinks, inviting the army dat has a rigid image for unprofessionalism, and flaunts the rules of engagement so easily into Imo state will only be putting the common man to danger.

If the useless army can't get intelligence and go after the people they are looking for,how is that the problem of anyone.

Make him no worry sebi him go contest for second tenure. We go wait for am.
