Self-proclaimed Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile (BRGIE), Simon Ekpa has warned the Nigerian government against construction of bases for the Army and police barracks in the South East region.
Ekpa’s warning came following a release by the Nigerian Army of a raid on a training camp allegedly run by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militia wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Abia State where a cache of weapons and ammunition were discovered.
The statement from the Army on Wednesday had said: “In a clearance operation conducted in the early hours of Wednesday 12 June 2024, troops of the Nigerian Army in conjunction with a Task Force Tactical Patrol Squad conducted a raid on a training camp of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN) located in Ihechiowa community of Arochukwu Local Government Area of Abia State.
