Four suspected of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday were paraded while planning to plant explosives in a military checkpoint along Owerri/Orlu road in Imo State.

The State Commissioner of Police, Abutu Yaro, confirmed this to newsmen in Owerri.

Yaro said that they were apprehended after they said ESN engaged the security forces in a gun battle and in the process, they fell to the superior power of the police force.

Explaining further on how they were arrested, the Commissioner of police said: “On 4th July 2021, some of the prescribed ESN/IPOB Organisation, were arrested by security agencies in the state. They were arrested in a futile bid to lunch improvised explosives on the Military checkpoint along Owerri Orlu Road.

“The hoodlums who came in their numbers were however engaged in a gun duel by the t Security agencies which led to the arrest of the following suspects; Chukwuebuka offorji “Male” Nicholas Ekwelem “Male” Okwelem Paschal “Male” Onyekahi Enerenini “Male.”

“However, one of the suspects sustained gunshot injury on his leg in the course of the melee. Meanwhile, operatives of the Command are presently on the trail of the escaping suspects who are strongly believed to have escaped with gunshot injuries. Efforts are in progress to recover the arms of the group as well as other incriminating items.

“The Commissioner of Police Imo State Abutu Yaro, FDC, vowed to sustain the operations and arrest of all criminals involved in violent crimes in the state, especially as the Command has embarked on mop-up operations to arrest the remnants of the ESN/IPOB in the state, a feat which has heralded peace and tranquillity in the state lately.”

It was his advice that the “Peace-loving people of Imo State should continue to the Police with credible information on the activities of criminal elements in their neighbourhoods. Together we shall continue to keep Imo State safe for business to thrive.”

PROPAGANDA

Videos or I don't believe it...who are they deceiving?

Noted

Free them! UNTIL you arrest Miyetti Allah for their crimes against humanity in Ondo state, Oyo state, Ebonyi, Bayelsa, Plateau state, Benue state etc. I will ALWAYS see the arrest of ESN/IPOB/Kanu as selective justice. Buhari's DOUBLE standards STINKS to the high heavens.

uptimumOne23:
Let them be hanged to death

Let's hang Miyetti Allah leadership first before we even consider hanging ESN or IPOB. Miyetti Allah is responsible for extermination of villages all over Nigeria. Keep the same energy.

hmohammed:
If they catch Miyeti Allah, you will change your story. Hopeless people

You are joking if you think Buhari will catch Miyetti Allah. Buhari FULLY s Miyetti Allah's genocide against innocent Middle-belters and Southerners. If not tell me why is Miyetti Allah roaming free and Kanu is in detention?

Where are the pictures??

AGENT of DARKNESS!!!

Hmm, war is coming....... I fear for the East and Nigeria

Lies

t

What's their offence?

They are unarmed gentlemen trying to stop fulanis from invading the military base.

Why is Buhari arresting unarmed men going about preaching the gospel? This is unfair to umu chineke.

When our dilector come out of kuje prison, we must bring down the zoo.

Ipob pigs are illiterates without brain.

Nwaezeudo:
Lies

Lies just like when Lamidi kanu was caught in a Brotel in Kenya, ipobians disputed it,

We expect a surge in ESN attacks in coming weeks. The kidnapping of school children in Kaduna was masterminded by ESN who equally went to Igbohos and bloodied everywhere

Zombies are already jerking off to this news

Fake news

Hehe.... Because we are all fools.

By this time next week dss will draft their supposed confession

Make them face judgement ASAP

A message needs to be sent to ones.

These people. Una dae look for where to turn into somalia una no go another place go bomb

IPOBians una no dey hear ba? The remaining stubborn ones will be killed or arrested in this manner shun violence and accept dialogue. MNK is cooling his legs behind bars. A word is enough for the wise.
