 Troops of Headquarters 82 Division Nigerian Army, made up of troops of 34 Artillery Brigade, in conjunction with troops of Nigerian Navy, Air Force, and other security agencies on Tuesday neutralised two combatants of the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, Eastern Security Network (ESN), along Eke Ututu – Ihitte Nansa road in Orsu Local Government Area (LGA) of Imo State.

In a statement on Wednesday sent to POLITICS NIGERIA by Brigadier-General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Director of Army Public Relations, security operatives said they encountered the lawbreakers while carrying out a raid operation around Orsu Ihitte Ukwa and Ihitte Nansa.

 The eliminated IPOB members had taken position to launch one of their primed rocket launchers when they were engaged and taken out by the vigilant troops.

“The troops were unhurt, as Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) deployed by the irredentists exploded at Eke Ututu Market, destroying some of the shops in the market,” the statement by Brigadier-General Nwachukwu reads in part.

Following this clash, authorities vowed that they will continue to ensure there is no safe haven for all criminal elements operating around Orsu and Orsumoghu, the border community between Anambra and Imo states.

Peter Obi

At a meeting with Nigerians in the Diaspora held in Toronto, Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, responded to the question they asked him on how he would solve the issue of agitation.

Peter Obi observed that everywhere someone may go in Nigeria, there is agitation. He said the question to ask ourselves is, how come everybody wants to go away?

He said what those who are with him in Toronto are doing is agitation. He said the reason is that it is because Nigeria is not working as they except that is why they left. He said it is similar to those who are agitating to divide too.

Peter Obi gave an example that there is no place that agitation is more like in South America, but the more they pull people out of poverty, the more people have a means of livelihood, the less the agitation. He said the approach is the same for solving criminal issues.

Peter Obi then clarified that they would deal with agitation. According to him, they will consult with anybody that is agitated, they will plead with them, they will beg them, and he can assure them that they will make it work and they will stop it.
