Biafra: DSS discovers store loaded with arms, IPOB protective shrine in Ebonyi 

An arms store has been uncovered at Effium in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State by Nigeria security agencies.

Reports said operation was carried out by the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian Army.

Items recovered included AK-47 rifles, one G3 rifle, one pump action rifle, one double barrel dane gun, five single barrel dane guns, two locally made pistols, and one locally made revolver pistol.

Also found were nearly 600 different calibers of ammunition inclusive of those for General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG).

Locals believe the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and sponsors of the Ezza-Effium crisis are owners of the stockpile.

Witnesses said four persons apprehended during the raid were alleged members of the group.

They added that a shrine which served as a protective shield for IPOB and others was uncovered.
