The operation was carried out on Friday, May 20, by troops of 34 Brigade in conjunction with operatives of the Department of State Service.

The Nigerian Army said on Saturday that its troops killed two wanted criminals and dislodged an alleged training camp of the Eastern Security Network at Okporo community in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.

A statement by the Director Army Public Relations, Brig Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, said the operation was carried out on Friday, May 20, by troops of 34 Brigade in conjunction with operatives of the Department of State Service. The statement partly read, “The troops dislodged the training camp after exchanging fire with the dissidents, neutralising two notorious members of the group, who have been on the wanted list of security agencies and have been terrorising residents in the general area of Orlu, Orsu and Njaba.

"The troops equally destroyed the training shed and other facilities used by the separatists, including a shrine, which members of the outlawed group reportedly use for spiritual fortification. A local factory for fabricating weapons was also discovered and destroyed. "A search of the factory uncovered three dane guns, one locally fabricated pistol, one live round of 7.62mm, one live cartridge, two used shells of 7.62mm and objects suspected to be charms, among other dangerous weapons."

They keep killing innocent Biafrans tagging them ESN. This is genocide and ethnic cleansing.

It is not only lies and deceits but fabricated fallacy. Fulani Sunni Muslim controlled Nigeria military should stop framing up Biafra youths for summary execution.

Never u believe any news coming from Nigeria army,Nigeria army sends fake news,propaganda steady to the world.Nigeria army hiding suicide bomber that bombed School children in Kano.Nigeria army gives fake reports against IPOB to incriminate fight to freedom. This is a photo shop.

What is ESN?

The South east has 15 senators in the Senate. 15 (fifteen), and they all, collectively allow this to happen to our traditional institutions. You all are collecting money from them again and are ready to do their bidding in the coming elections. Tuaehh

Pure lies,is that pictures there not somebody's client?the zoo had finished, they always get caught in any move they took

And when will the Nigerian army bust and destroy the Boko Haram, Iswap, and bandit training camps hidden deep within Sambisa forest to finally sending them to hell?

This is blemisphy to Igbo deity

Why would an Igbo Man, Brigadier Onyeama Nwachukwu, be so eager to link Criminality to ESN? Clearly, this is a strategy to worsen Nnamdi Kanu's case by making Prosecutors rely on extraneous news outside the scope of the immediate charges before the Court.

Nigeria soldiers are beginning to link all shrines in Igbo land to ipop. You abandoned north with bokoharram and here you are pursuing shadow

Nigeria soldiers are beginning to link all shrines in Igbo land to ipop. You abandoned north with bokoharram and here yo u are pursuing shadow

Every shrine and native doctor's within south East are now Esn/ipob shrine. This is ridiculous. How long will this continue while the media support them in brutalizing our people. How many shrines of Yoruba/hausa extraction have they destroyed & arrested their chief priest?

Counter on your wall. Don't debate on the walls of otelectuals. Stop firing up their dead walls.

Nigerian Government stop killing my people.

Let's call a spade a spade, ESN is a terror group. The earlier we understand the better for us. God bless Nigeria Army

No native doctor is safe in SE for now. The zombie army will always see them has ESN members.

sharing fake news. Stop spreading your disinformation everywhere. Investigate news before reporting especially in that Zoo contraption. Stop victimization of the oppressed. Stop colluding with the evil Bokuhari regime. Stop being a tool in the oppressors' hand.

sahara is in the business of advertising otumokpo and shrine.

Training camp or shrine

hence you all have sold yourselves to devil's to keep using you political tools everywhere to keep reporting junkie propaganda without any investigation, rather sitting office and calling zoo liargeria repentantBokoboys in uniform to get your useless report!

funny, we heard the story of your clash with the REAL ESN in the past and we know how it ended. Now you arranged and kill innocent people and tagged them ESN,, well, the relative of those innocent people you killed are the growing Unknown Gunmen

Number one problem of this world is media

Who will speak for traditional worshippers? This country is full of injustice. How do you burst people's place of worship and call it training camp? Is it possible to kill only two people when you burst a training camp?

Alleged? Reprobates.

Money is just a paper created by men that is been used in this world. it shouldn't be what will take your soul that is priceless to hell, 🔥 all the whole money in this world can't buy a single soul turn to Christ Jesus and Repent from your sinful nature be a good person. ❤️✝️🔥

Kai....make una repent ooo

Nice job

Are those the two?

Boko haram, bandit, religious ass hole And its ESN, that's now their problem Well done Nigeria army

Hmm. Is that how ESN camp looks like? I nearly believed this story until I observed it's coming from Sahara Reporters, the King of fake news! Let Benin people catch you parading their god.

Funny news

Blood of Jesus, they even have a photo caged inside the shrine

The government should be looking into this killing oooo..... innocent lives matters ooo

Is this image a training camp? How does the image correspond with your subject?

Aha Jesus Christ

Nothing way Musa no go see for gate. Sahara dey swear for you, abeg how much Nigeria government paid you self that is making u to behave like an idiotic.

Propaganda will never help nigeria.

They killed two people who were looking for solutions to their family problems in the home of a traditionalist. Funny government

Native doctors house is now ESN camp? I only blame Igbo traditional custodians who kept quiet and allow the u*ncircumcised foolani almajiri terrorists in military uniforms to be desecrating our land and worship places because of the peanuts they are getting from politicians..

We're the gods arrested?

Maybe God is answering somebody’s Deliverance prayers through Nig Army. You know God works in a Miraculous way 😒

You are stu-pid for writing rubbish.

Training camp and two persons were killed? Doesn't add up, another propaganda!

This is the training camp?

Zoo news media una rotten pass any other thing on earth

Are they training inside this shrine or what , can’t see anything here than fetish things , how is this place a training ground 😏

HQNigerianArmy werey, u invaded ESN training camp n 'killed two'. Clown Leave traditionalists alone n let them be

Look at how you are desicrating our holy places and killing innocent people practicing African religion

Clowns 🤡 🤡 🤡

If they use this violence in the north, the country will be calm

De no fit burst Bandits

This is an Igbo cosmology shrine. It is the spirituality of many Igbo ancestors for thousands of yrs. The army has no right to desecrate this shrine under any pretense. My consolation is that our ancestors fight for themselves. Those soldiers will bear whatever befall them, Iseee

😂😂😂😂😂

Only 2? It means you guys are lying

you lie SaharaReporters, are you there did you investigate it before spreading it, Fake news Sahara

Nigerian Army formed for SE

Hmmn, these people will kill themselves finish all in the name of biafra.

The gods are not to blame!

Keep desecrating Igbo heritage sites in the name of fighting ESN. Very stupid country

You can lie.? which court pronounced them esn? do investigative journalism,stop gossiping,stop propaganda, so taking bribe

Fake news, where is the camp and dead bodies? you brown envelop journalist , Nigeria will soon happen to you and your families. IPOB is a peaceful organization and only interested in the restoration of Biafra .we call for a referendum in Nigeria.

Nigeria army have no sense When will they use this their bully intimidation on Boko Haram stupidity in government

Tears of umu Elohim sustains the army to go harder!

The kind of lie in this country ehhh, 80% of people they call ESN are innocent people

Yes and They found MBuhari and Aisha buhari in their camp with Nigeria flag colour. Nigeria and fake news referendum is only way out. End Nigeria to save lives

This is a lie. Just like BBCWorld .

How does this picture depict what the headline says 🙄 Every body just dey show case their werey for this country 🤣🤣🤣

Sahara why not attach yourself to the soldiers at least to cover the seen so as not to reduce yourself to gutter media like others

Nigeria army now experts in media propaganda.

The gods are to be blamed.

Every day same story for more than 7years now..

You sure say no be dem construct this one?

I challenge the Nigerian Army to take pictures FROM INSIDE the very IPOB ESN Training Ground which Nnamdi Kanu REVEALED the day he launched ESN for the security of the Eastern Legion against Fulani Juhadists Terrorists codenamed herdsmen and bandits.

So this is a training camp in the eyes of Nigerian media? It's so bad,that this is what Nigeria has been reduced to. They took pictures of a local herbalist shrine somewhere unknown and tag it ESN training camp,just to give IPOB a bad name.

😀😀, they'll raid shrine and call it ESN

Una go just dey lie

Na only for shrine them they train ni 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kudos to Nigeria army,this people not worthy of living among the people ,kee them all......

Nigeria is a zoo and all their brown envelope journalists. Boko Haram and Fulani Herders continuously slaughter people daily, but they are never paraded. Junk journalists.

This how you accused this Guy without enquiries

May be I'm wrong but the current trends of busting local shrines and deities in Igboland and tagging them IPOB ESN is pure base and stupid. Don't tamper with people's sacred religion. You don't go into the mosques arresting Boko Haram terrorists. We know they full there too.

Fake News..

Nigeria Na serious cruise 😂😭😭

I can only 😂 but...

Nah that 2 idol for shrine den kill for ESN 😂 head dey pain Sahara handler

NIGERIA Govt is descrating African Traditional Religion in the name of looking for IPOB/ESN members who committed nothing except asking for a UN supervised REFERENDUM. OHANEZE SOCIAL CLUB, IGBO LEADERS, POLITICIANS, ELITES & RELIGIOUS LEADERS SHOULD SPEAK UP NOW!!!!

Is this the two killed militants 😂😂😂, besides it’s only two they can kill if at all them see any body kill

Are they using juju to fight?

So this's what ESN camp looks like 🤔?

Igbo Native doctors are now their targets...what a country

More are to be killed soon insha Allah.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

The military should focus more on defeating Boko Haram and bandits in this Country.

Did U take this picture Yourself Or try to visit the area to ascertain the News You got from Nigeria Fake Media. When Will U Grow Up & have sense? Even If Nigeria Army nigeriaarmydary Hear ESN Coming They all goes into Hiding not a Match.

Everything thing is now ESN.

Everything you are talking about southeast must be ipob and ESN. Useless media.

Nigeria NigerianArmy is ridiculous. We have not forgotten how Boko Haram has been technically defeated. Umu Ekwensu, stop 🛑 killing innocent people in South East.

Nigeria Army will receive more punishment for killin unarmed civilians in the South East, while ordinary mobs over powered them in Sokoto.

Is this not Shrine?

Is this not a blasphemy against traditional religion?

The Nigerian Army is killing Igbo Youths and tagging them ESN. Leave Igbo youths alone

They are just lying and deceiving themselves. Like I ssid if the force the security are using in the South East are used in the North that is infested with terrorists Fulani, terrorists herdsmen, terrorists Boko Haram, I tell you the North will not be in total ruin it is now.

Fake news

Please keep killing them. We need peace| For those saying to go after the ones in the Bush, a bird in hand... , you know the rest

Very dirty place.

Nigeria Army troops wey no fit curb Northern insurgence

One day you people will break into Kene_Nnewi shrine and call it ESN camp. Anything to disrespect igbo heritage.
