Biafra: Nigerian military overpowers ESN in Imo forest

A combined team of military, police, and Air Force personnel has dislodged the Eastern Security Network camps linked to the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra in the Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State.

Punch reports that the camp of the ESN operatives located inside the thick forest in Udah village, Orsu LGA of the state, had been taken over by the military.

It was gathered that the combined military operation, which led to the capture of the ESN camp in Udah village, was led by a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, the Inspector leader General of Police Intelligence Response Team from the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

The source said, “Abba Kyari has been in the state since. He is here on the Inspector General of Police’s order to flush out ESN from Imo State. This is the second week of his operation in the state.”

“The Abba Kyari team exhausted their strength and asked for help from the military. By the time the military could mobilise and come through the air in the night, the ESN operatives had vacated the camp, which is located in a valley.”

“The team, by the time they had access to the camp, couldn’t find any ESN operative. They only found a fish pond, a generator, mattresses, cooking utensils and clothes,” the source said.
