Troops of the Nigerian Army(NA) in a joint operations conducted with other security agencies have dislodged a notorious stronghold of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN) at Lilu Forest in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. Lilu is a border town between Imo and Anambra States, which was hitherto known to be used as an operational base of the dissidents.

The operations, which was conducted in the early hours of Monday 17 January 2022, led to the neutralization of some gunmen in a fire fight that ensued.

After dislodging the dissidents from their fortress, the dogged troops recovered 10 Pump Action Shotguns, two locally fabricated guns, One Revolver pistol, rounds of 7.62 mm special, live cartridges, machettes and IPOB flags. Other items recovered are mobile phones, laptops amongst other dangerous weapons.

The operation was jointly conducted by troops of 82 Division, Nigerian Navy, 211 Quick Response Group of the Nigerian Air Force, Department of State Services and the Nigeria Police. It was a well coordinated dawn attack on the fortress, where plans were been perfected to violently enforce the illegitimate sit-at-home declaration by the irredentist groups.

Trash , pump action is for vigilantes . IPOB uses more sophisticated weapons

DOTian:
If it's these pump action guns, then you just killed innocent vigilantes. Btw, how many times will you guys "neutralize" IPOB-ESN in this Lilu, Osumuoghu, Ihitenansa forests? Tomorrow, ESN will show us a video of them singing in the same forest. Talked to someone from there last week and he was telling me that those boys even set up road blocks now. Yet buharis army is always "neutralizing". Neutralizing innocent youths as usual..
Umu bingo..

udele1:
Wonderful. Congrats troops. The guns look familiar to the ones here.
