The Tactical Team of the Police Command in Ebonyi State has raided three camps of the outlawed IPOB/ESN operatives and arrested two suspected members of the gang.
Spokesperson of the Police Command, SP Chris Anyanwu, at a news conference in Abakaliki yesterday, said that the camps were located in a thick forest close to Opeke River, in Omege village, Agba community, in Ishielu local government area of the State.
Anyanwu said the team also recovered assorted arms and ammunition, military uniforms and many incriminating exhibits. “The operation was spearheaded by the Command’s Tactical teams, assisted by the military and DSS in the State’, he said. The spokesperson listed the recovered exhibits to include 11 bullet-proof jackets and eight sets of military camouflage uniforms.
The Police Command, therefore, implored the citizens of Ebonyi State to assist the command as always, with credible and reliable information that would help to arrest the hoodlums.
It said that giving the information would help to rid the State of heinous crimes, especially during the fast-approaching Christmas/New Year celebrations as well as the electioneering period.
