*Recover cache of arms, ammunition 

Troops of 34 Brigade, Nigerian Army (NA) have reportedly captured a cache of arms and ammunition belonging to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network(ESN).

The recovery happened after a gun battle at Amaifeke-Akkatta Road in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo state. 

The firearms and ammunition, according to Brig-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, Director, Army Public Relations, were recovered during operations to clear separatists’ hideouts in the general area of Amaifeke – Akkatta road. 

According to him, “the troops uncovered the weapons concealed in a black Toyota Camry, after they successfully surmounted ambushes staged by members of the outlawed dissident group, who, having been overpowered by the gallant troops, abandoned their vehicle and weapons in the heat of the combat and fled the scene”.
Nwachukwu added that “after a thorough search, the troops recovered 10 Pump-Action shotguns, seven locally fabricated guns, one locally-made Revolver Pistol, eighty live cartridges, one Baofeng Radio and substances suspected to be gun powder.
“Others include satchets of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and a Toyota Camry saloon car”. 

He stated that “the Nigerian Army commends members of the public for their continued support to the military and  security agencies, as they protect the citizens from  attrocious activities of the outlawed dissident groups, who in defiance of law and good order have annihilated innocent Ndigbo and other Nigerians, in their enforcement of an illegal sit-at-home order, foisted on the good people of the South-East”.  
He urged the public to continue to provide timely and credible information in support of on-going operations to restore peace and security in the zone and other troubled parts of the country.
