The Nigerian Army, Police, and other security agencies have raided the hideouts and training camps of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militant arm, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), in Orsomoghu Forest, which spans Anambra and Imo States.
According to Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, Director Army Public Relations, the operation was in response to a report on violent activities of the criminal group enforcing the illegal two-week sit-at-home order in Onitsha, Nnewi, and Iheme Obosi in Anambra State, and New Market in Enugu State.
