According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Nigerian Army made the assertions in a statement issued by Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director Army Public Relations.
According to Nwachukwu, the most recent explosion happened on the Eke Ututu-Orsu route in Imo State’s Orsu Local Government Area.
According to the statement, while seeking to dodge forces’ onslaught on terrorists in the area, the dissidents mistakenly trod on an IED that they had hidden along numerous roads in Orlu, Orsu Local Government Area.
The Army urged all peace-loving individuals in the South-East to notify any suspected sites where explosives have been hidden so that they can be properly evacuated and disposed of.
