TROOPS REPEL SUSPECTED IPOB TERRORISTS’ ATTACK ON POLICE STATION IN EBONYI 

Troops of the Nigerian Army deployed for counter terrorism operations in Ebonyi State in a swift and decisive response have repelled an attack  on  Isheke Police Station which came under attack by suspected IPOB terrorists resulting in the torching of the facility and several vehicles. 

Troops, on arrival at the scene, launched a counter-attack on the terrorists overpowering and compelling them to flee in disarray. Accordingly, troops engaged the terrorists in a hot pursuit, leading to an intense gun battle, which resulted in the elimination of five suspected terrorists and seizure of several weapons.

 The troops recovered one PKT Machine Gun with a link belt containing 94 rounds of ammunition, 2 AK-47 rifles with 3 magazines, containing 11 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition, one Sub Machine Gun with a magazine, and a Sienna SUV with registration number Ebonyi CHR-364JC.

The Nigerian Army will continue to operate in synergy with sister services and other security agencies to combat the terrorists’ activities by IPOB and its armed affiliate, the ESN. We urge all law-abiding citizens to be vigilant and report any suspicious movement or activity to the security agencies.
