“Sadly, five soldiers and two Nigeria Police operatives sustained varying degrees of injuries from the IED detonated by the criminals.”

One IPOB flag, one CCTV camera, two detonated IEDs and a fabricated mortar tube were among the items recovered from the separatists, according to the army.

The army urged residents of the South-east to continue to support the military with “information” about IPOB activities and also disregard the group’s unlawful two weeks sit-at-home order. It vowed to continue collaborating with other security agencies to protect lives and property in the South-east within the ambit of the law and in line with the rules of engagement.

IPOB is leading the agitation for an independent state of Biafra, which it wants carved out from the South-east and some parts of South-south Nigeria.
