“The Nigerian Army Fire Service Department has since put out the fire. No casualty was recorded during the incident and normalcy has since returned to the complex”.

However, in another story, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB on Tuesday boasted that the Nigerian soldiers had no such training that could enable them to arrest its security operatives, the Eastern Security Network, ESN.

IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement sent to our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State.

While describing the Nigerian soldiers as inferior in training compared to ESN operatives, IPOB said it was a blatant lie the claim by the military that those arrested in Orlu, Imo State, were ESN operatives.

He said, “We want to debunk the lies by the Nigerian military that those it arrested in Orlu during their genocidal raid and airstrike last week were ESN operatives.

“Till tomorrow, the Nigerian military should know that its poorly-trained troops are no match to the gallant and formidable ESN operatives. We are miles ahead of them, and can never be subdued by them. Their propaganda cannot work.”
