Army Raids IPOB Camp In Abia, Kills Six, Following Soldier Deaths

This operation was part of a targeted response to last week’s killing of five soldiers at Obikabia junction in Aba, as stated in a statement released on X (formerly known as Twitter) by the Nigerian Army on Sunday.

The army reported that the operation aimed to capture those responsible for the attack on the soldiers, three of whom hailed from the Southeast, and to confiscate arms and ammunition from IPOB and its affiliated Eastern Security Network (ESN).
